Well, time sure is flying by in ultra-fast mode. I always knew there was going to be a lot to do before I’d be able to pick up and leave for 6 months but damn, was I grossly underestimating all the work. Needlesstosay though, I think I’ll make it ontime for our flight Sat. morning but it’s going to be close. Waaaay too close. Props to Jen for composing that massive entry below. How the heck did you find time to do that? I was always that guy who wrote the minimum required length for his high school English essays. But I’m sure as we begin our adventure, I’ll have lots to share and more time to write. For now though, it’s back to packing and preparing.
