Its actually happening

Well, this is it. I'm actually packed. I'm actually ready. I'm actually leaving. My day starts early tomorrow, around 5, so I figured I would say a last good-bye (sadly, an electronic good-bye will have to work for all of you that I didn't get to see!) before I pack up my laptop along with everything else. The next time you hear from me... I will be half-way around the world, soaking up some equator-sun and beginning another great adventure :)
