This was a 'fun' day ! If we didn't have one of our close friends working with us on that day, we wouldn't have gotten a minute of sleep. Fortunately, they agreed to come and work with us for clean-up, which was great help. There was so many items that they could take away and we didn't feel like throwing. There were last minute furniture to get dumped (we should have dumped this at least a week ago but didn't happen as I mentioned in the earlier entry).
The challenge after that was to pack as much as possible - we had done our home work before - did a mock run of fitting the bedsheets, sleeping bags etc in the suite cases and see how much can fit. However, only when you get the last day, you really know how much stuff is left out and you have to decide to keep versus dump based on the suite case weight. Needless to say, that takes a few tries before you get an ideal filled suite case! We ended dumping lots of food items like Jams, pickle bottles etc but not a big deal.
By 1am, we called it a day and went to bed. Since the flight out was at 1pm, we had a bit of time in the morning as well to pack up and throw the 'last minute' items like left over milk, bread etc.
