well, here I go

well, here i go

After months of thinking about it and thinking about it, I'm finally doing it; my first vacation in 17 years. I guess that makes me the vacation cicada.I am in the final stages of packing up my stuff; in an hour everything will be packed and in a few hours more I'll be on the road. I'm going to stop by a friend's place just outside of Calgary for the night, to test out everything while I am still right next to civilization. Tomorrow I begin in earnest; I hope to get to Medicine Hat from Conrich in two days. I may even have a few photos in my next blog post.

My parents, though worried about me, have been enormously helpful,. Thanks, mom and dad, it would have been a LOT more difficult without both of your' help.

I have to pack the computer now. See y'all in a few days.
