Hello from on the road

Hello All!
We are in our warm up phase of our travels. We just spent a wonderful weekend with Chris and Lindsey Watson at their amazing wedding in Redondo Beach,CA. Now we are at LAX enjoying the life of traveling and flight delays ;)  Since we are here with little else to do I thought I'd finish our first of hopefully many videos. So as soon its published to youtube I will post it here it on the blog. Stay tuned!
Cheers,
Gregg

Halfway gone--completely if you are only counting the really important stuff...

The going away party has partied, the storage shed has reached that "practice climbing in order to get to that one thing you shouldn't have packed away" status, and we have almost all our hostels for Japan, Nepal and China figured out! Gregg and my last working days are this week, and we have our last wedding of the year this weekend (Yay Chris and Lindsay!), and then we'll both be signing off at work next Monday.

It still isn't hitting me--it's kinda like right before you leave for college!

The one major crazy thing we forgot to remember before we left (aside from SOMEHOW still not having our malaria pills)---any kind of lightbulb in our room for the week now that all our furniture has been put in storage. I'm not sure how, but this week's night time we will be living like farm hands in the 1700s--asleep when the sun goes down. Which is good, since sleeping on an air mattress is never something I've mastered.

Off to pack more boxes! And call Kaiser. Attempt number 6 for malaria pills--go!
