The trip to Romania is getting closer and closer. On Saturday I hauled home a huge cardboard bike box hoping it would fit the tandem. Yesterday evening I spent a couple of hours puling the tandem apart and got it to approximate quite a compact shape, which will easily fit into the maximum dimensions permitted by the airline.
We fly into Bucharest and will be hosted by people we contacted through the WSL (Warm Showers List). Initially the idea being to stay with them the first and last nights and to store the travel box with them. Very generously they offered to meet us at the airport and drive us out of Bucharest in the direction of Transylvannia.
Since we decided to go to Romania the thought of the trip has given me many feelings of worry, whether the tandem would fit into a bike box that the airline would take or if the various technical issues that have struck the tandem over the course of its time with us would have solutions found or new problems arise. The worries are at last being overtaken by the positive thoughts of the trip itself. It's really happening and it's going to be great!
