Waiting...

I've been on edge for the past few months, but with good reason.  I'm about to embark on the trip of a lifetime with my best friend Alan- a trip that will take us through many countries around the world, hopefully for a year! 

To prepare for a trip of this magnitude, we both have sold, stored and thrown away a lot of our life-long possessions to trim down to just the bare necessities- a backpack with a week's worth of clothes, toiletries, 2 pairs of shoes and a travel book. Mind you - me having just a week's worth of clothes makes me nervous. haha.  Though I didn't wear everything that was in my closet, I did enjoy having a choice of things to wear. 

So, after a grueling 2 months of getting the house organized and ready to sell and quitting my IT job of 9 years, I'm finally somewhat relaxed and I am getting excited about the trip. All that's left to do is wait until July 3rd when we leave DC/MD to go to London via Montreal.  I'm hoping we get a chance to tour Montreal during our 9 hour layover. 

Until Next Time...
