Final preparations

Well, it's my last night here in the US for a while. Bill has gone to bed and I'm up doing some final preparation, going through my luggage to make sure everything's ready. A strange feeling to be thinking that 24 hours from now I'll be over the Pacific en route to halfway (literally) around the world! I'm going to miss everyone here, but I know things will fly by once I'm there. The adventure is about to start!
