I am back at the office and Chris and Nick are finishing up our laundry. We just had a great morning, doing laundry and having coffee at Starbucks before packing and taking off. I am excited and ready to go.

Things I am looking forward to:

1 - Driving - Long road trips like this are fun. Nick and I have loads of food to stop and eat when we are hungry.

2 - Meeting BootsnAll members and friends. There are countless people that I will/should meet on this trip that I have been friends with for years. To finally meet up for a drink or whatever, should be great.

3 - The Challenge of doing it...we have been planning this for months. I am looking forward to pulling it off.

4 - Meeting new folks that are "into travel" and all that it has to offer.

5 - Learning - as always - I am looking forward to learning about new things.

6 - Nick - hanging out with him. Nick will be heading out to Europe and Bali soon, so this will be a good time to spend time with an old friend.

7 - I'm sure there is more, but I gotta get to...

Things I am not looking forward to: (I have a postive attitude about these, but may not be my favorites)

1 - waking up on not enough sleep

2 - Traffic Jams (at least we have a radio now)

3 - I can't think of anything else....
