This is the scene over here....

As you can see we are in the throes of packing. Trying to cram all our stuff into 14 rubbermaid totes and 7 backpacks is a challenge not for the weak... But Hugo is up to the task. He is feeling quite good these days having passed his final government exam... whew... This does not give him his Mechanics license but is one of the crucial steps needed to attain the license. He still has to do about a years worth of tasks in his logbook.
Good news, we have been granted permission to obtain a work permit!! This is big news!! We hope we can pick it up in Holland but the process does take 2-4 weeks and we are only planning to be in Holland for 3... Never a dull moment!!

...those rubbermaid bins & backpacks look way too familiar, we know the feeling. We got the idea to use them from a post you put on this blog a long time ago. Worked great, but what a huge job. Glad to see you're almost through it. May God bless you as you prepare to head back, and may He give you the strength you need for your tasks!

Hi Erica and Hugo,

Welcome to Holland! Good to know you had a tiring but safe trip. Congratulations for Hugo regarding his aircraft mechanic license (is that the B1 license Hugo?). Anyway, hope to meet you guys Saturday June 12th. Erica, about long street names, try this one from Dordrecht: Blindeliedengasthuissteeg :-)
Take care, looking forward to meet you again.
