Condo sold, bags packed.

It is official, we are homeless.

We placed our condo for sale last November and it sold within a whopping three weeks. We loved our home, however living on a second floor apartment with a dog and a toddler combined with the famous Montreal outdoor stairs that are covered in snow half the year was proving too complicated.  Can you imagine?

The quick sale of our apartment meant we would not have a place to call home for three months, and so, we decided to do what we love best during this time. We decided to travel.

All of our belongings were packed up and placed into storage, countries chose, flights were booked, apartments reserved, and clothing was carefully chosen and packed for three months of life on the road.

We head off in a couple days and I am going through the final rounds of  "do we really need to take this item/piece of clothing/book around the world?" Tough choices to make, especially with a toddler who has favourite soothers, bottles, stuffed animals, Lego, bedtime books, blankets and all the gear that comes with a kid. I don't need to list the myriad of choices to be made, you get the picture.

This will be my son's 11th flight, so I am getting to be a pro at suitcase packing. That said, this is a whole new level. My upcoming post will have some tips on how to pack for a family of three in two suitcases. Stay tuned!
