Remember when I said it didn't feel real? Well, today that all changed because we booked our plane tickets!
We leave on June 8th, which is in 3 months! 13 weeks and 6 days away, to be exact. 😁
The things that worried me the most about making this trip were the fact that people have told me it would be very difficult to find a flight that allowed all 3 of our dogs in the cabin with us, since flights have limits to the number of animals on board and our family alone just about maxed that out. Also, getting a pet-friendly room at the hotel on base in Belgium would be very hard to come by, as they only have 3 for the entire hotel and we are arriving at peak PCS (Move) season. However, we were very blessed that both these situations proved available and easy to confirm and book (for us at least). Whew!
We have our requested pack and move dates and are just waiting to hear back from the transportation office if they can accommodate us on our preferred date. If not, we can be a bit flexible.
My car is set to be turned in for shipment to Belgium on April 2nd and we are hopeful that it will be waiting for us when we arrive because we will have a lot to get done there from day one!
We still need to get our special issue passports, the dog's carriers for the plane ride, and we will begin packing some of our things in the garage in Tuff Tubs, for easier storage.
I know the time is going to fly by and we're excited for all of it!
I'll post all the updates and answer any questions as they come in. 😊
