Ready to go!

My bag is packed (starting weight is 34.5 pounds), my pre-trip checklist is almost complete, and I
finished up what I could with work. In less than 24 hours I will be
sitting on the train on the way to Georgia. After months of planning
and years of dreaming I can't believe it is finally here.

Thanks to everyone who came last night. You all (as well as everyone
else who couldn't make it) will be missed. But, I am sure the time
will fly by. Keep me posted on anything that is going on so I am not
completely shocked when I get back ;)

"Remember what Bilbo used to say: It's a dangerous business, Frodo,
going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep
your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to." -
