And we're off!

Today's the day. After a year and a half of waiting, we finally start our trip. I was given a send-off party yesterday at work. I'm blessed to work with the absolute nicest people in the world. I know, you think you do, but you're wrong. I will miss them a lot while I'm on this trip.

Jan's busy doing her last-minute cleaning so our burglar(s) aren't shocked by the state of our house. That's important, right? We made our final packing arrangements last night. I took a lesson from a Southwest packing video and from Clark Howard and decided to wear my heaviest clothing. I took out that coat that the tour company sent, and my big bag actually got below the fifty-pound mark. No such luck with Jan's bag, though. We're probably going to be paying for the extra poundage.

My son still gets this look on his face like we're dragging him to his doom. I think once he's underway, and gets to some of the amazing places we're going, he'll come around. If not, at least he'll like the water park in Dubai.

I hope you are all having a blast! I’m sure you are. Gary, I haven’t heard recently so where are/ have you been? Keep us updated when you’re able and send some photos. I appreciate the earlier pictures (which are great). Reminds me of our great neighbors and neighborhood growing up!!

Have fun,
