This morning we went out for our final Chocolate y Churros breakfast, and then ventured into the Jardin to take one last look around. Christmas time is coming, and they had a neat manger scene set up to get the town into the mood:

We left about three hours to finish packing, and completed the task in two and a half. Sue bought some cool-but-breakable things, which required extra special organizing. We started our trip with seven suitcases, and finished with eight, after leaving some of our old clothes behind.
If you're considering a four month adventure like ours, here's what it looks like to move:
Eight bags, and four carry-ons
Another interesting event: about an hour ahead of the scheduled pickup, Antonio called us and asked us to come outside. He was unable to take us to the airport today because he had blinded himself doing some welding in his house without the proper safety gear. He said this had happened before, and should be able to see again in three days or so. He was bummed that he wouldn't be able to send us off.
Victor - one of his drivers - took us to the airport. We arrived plenty early, and arrived back in San Francisco at 1 AM. The kids did great, and they've earned another adventure in the future.
