Yes! We are really going to do this.

It is early Monday morning and Kathy and I are sitting in our home office with a yellow legal pad that is overflowing with things to do. Until now, I never fully realized everything that has to get accomplished to prepare for a journey of seven weeks and 8,000 miles.

It seems as if we are trying to plan for every contingency - a five gallon container of gas just in case we run out - seems kind of silly since five gallons buys you about forty miles in our R.V; a 1,000,000 candle power spot light to blind the drunken lunatic that tries to break into our R.V. in the middle of the night in the Borough of Noname, South Dakota (I thought about buying a hand gun... but I didn't want to shoot myself... maybe a tazer but then I would probably electrocute Kathy or Nicole).

Well, probably time to stop writing and get back to the yellow list. Item one down - Start a Blog... only 137 more to go.
