Things are getting really slow at work and it leaves a lot of time for people to talk about plans for departure. Most people are planning last minute chores - washing the rig, sorting and consolidating basements and getting other last minute things done like gassing up their vehicles and filling fresh water tanks, etc. Most of the sightseeing is done with the exception of some final visits to favorite spots that are close by. We all have meetings with the payroll department on Monday to discuss any bonuses that are due - we will get a small bonus for completion of our commitment here, and Josie gets a small bonus for sales in the gift shop. None of those will make a whole lot of difference since we are working the last 2 weeks of the season on shorter hours and it almost evens out. It's better than nothing.
Most people that we talk to are planning to return next year. At least that's what they are saying now. Some are like us and will return if we don't find something that is more appealing to us - such as a job in another great area that pays as well as this one. There are those though that will return no matter what since they have already been back 2 or more years and are settled into this area and the job. We will have no problem returning ourselves if we can't find better.
We still need to tackle the outside basement housekeeping that we have been delaying, so it looks like today may be the day to start on that ugly chore. The excitement is building for our departure on Saturday, and we will finalize the exact locations for our stays along the way to Naperville this week. More tomorrow...
