Well... finally done with school and time for summer.  Did pretty well this semester so I can go on this trip without any regret of, woulda shoulda coulda, which was my goal.  I'm home in Connecticut right now for the week to see the folks.  Nothing better than to be home and have some home cooked love from momma's kitchen.

On thursday I'll head down to northern VA to get some work in to have some money for food for the trip.  Hunter was kind enough to find some work for me.  Best company in the world for all your natural stone restoration needs, Rose Restoration.  Thanks Hunter!  

Took the bike out for a spin yestersday, but the roads in town are unbelievably terrible.  I've never seen anything like it.  For 20 miles I felt like I was on one of those beds that vibrates when you put the quarters in... Terrible.

It's getting down to the wire here as we depart in 13 days... Oh Boy... freaking out just a little not going to lie.  I feel comfortable with the preparations that have been made thus far but need to keep going on some of these technologies like geotagging, etc.  It will all work out.

Thanks so much thus far for the kinds words from everyone. It really means a lot to have that kind of support!
