Countdown to circumnavigation

It is March 3 and there are only 12 days until we leave on March 16. We had a fortune of time to prepare but now that we are face-t0-face with so few days remaining, I am starting to worry about whether all the preparations can be completed by the 16th -- such mundane things as suspending magazine subscriptions, DSL service, cable, etc. etc. etc. This evening I sprayed Permethrin on our mosquito netting (you didn't think that we would rely on the tour guides, particularly in Papua New Guinea for sufficiently fine mosquito netting!). Our son-in-law Colin is kindly lending us his Leica Trinovid binoculars (we have one pair but we each need good binos), and I am busy storing movies and music on portable hard drives. There are more than a few long flights ahead of us, and I am such a light sleeper that I need some amusement when I tire of reading. More to follow!
