The Journey is the Greatest Destination A Wildlife Biologist's Travels Around the World

The final countdown has begun. It's less than a week before I leave Las Vegas and head to New York then onward around the world. Everyone tells me they can't believe it and I just try to casually portray that it really isn't a big deal. The truth is I have such anxiety that in the past two weeks I don't remember what it's like to have a full nights rest. But it is an excited, hopeful, and overwhelming joy at the possibilities to come that keeps me up. I full heartedly agree that the biggest challenge to accomplishing a big trip is taking the first step (at least I really hope so :-)
