Seventeen Hours Left

So, we have just passed the seventeen hour mark. I have just barely started packing, and I will continue once I finish this post and tell people about the new blog. I am pretty sure I have everything I need but I will find that out once I lay it all over the floor in the guest bedroom. It's really exciting and I don't know if I will be sleeping tonight. As long as I have myself, my passport, my visa card, some cash and Dasha, everything else can be found somewhere in Europe.

About the blog: I haven't done this before so it may take me a while to get used to this "blogging" thing. I will try to keep it up to date as we move along through our 120 days in Europe. Feel free to leave a comment here and there, I will try and read them all. I don't know how much time I'll have to write or how expensive it will be so I assumed this would be a great way to keep everybody updated. You can still send me personal e-mails to my account but there are no guarantees that I will reply to all of them because frankly I'd rather soak in the culture of Europe than hang around an LCD screen.

I'll try to keep everybody up to date!
