Well, we made it through the annual tour of the Central Valley of California for Christmas, and we are officially one month away from our flight date. Marc's last day of work is this Friday (12/29) and my last day is January 18th. I am taking the 2nd-10th off to pack up the house and get things ready.
The trip became very real over the holidays. There is a very good possibility we won't see some of our family again before we leave. There were a few tears as I said goodbye to everyone, including my nephew who will be 18 by the time we get back in 2008. There were two engagements during the holidays too--Marc's brother, Joel and my Maid of Honor, Jenn. The idea of possibly missing big events like these while we are gone also became very real this weekend. I guess we will find ways to deal with it. We are very happy for Joel & Lisa and Jenn & Kris. We hope they will meet us along the way to celebrate with us.
The calendar for January is packed with events for the trip. Packing and last minute shopping will consume a good majority of our days. We will also take advantage of the time to run, do yoga, and hangout at Trieste.
Check this site often for updates...especially after January 29th when we land in Quito, Ecuador.
