See ya' in two months

I don't do very well with lasts. I can't help but always get really sentimental. The sadness always hits me especially hard this time each year, closing the books on another school year. It makes it so clear how fast time flies!
This year obviously it is crystal clear, with Lucas getting ready to spread his wings and fly out into the big world. Where to? We don't know yet... We are all in a bit of a limbo state just waiting for his grades, waiting for news from University; waiting to see what the next step will be. Well, I don't do waiting, nor not having set plans, very well either - so not an easy time for me.

Add to that, that today was the last day of school for Linnea. (It's not the last day of term, but as we are shooting off on summer holiday a little bit early, it is the last day for her.)
Last day of the school year of 2021-2022. Last day of the IB Middle Years Program. Next school year she is taking on the Diploma Program, and she is ready for it! But let's not get ahead of ourselves, first - well deserved two months of summer holidays!

The house sitter is sorted, the bags are packed, travel apps downloaded and the hundreds of documents we need have been printed. We are ready to go!
First stop - New Zealand!
