Ted says: I'm still, even upon the day of departure, acclimating to the idea of leaving the world of climate control and lazy felines for a life of travel. Packing up here, we have more space than last year (due to dad's larger bags), but the same amount of stuff, leaving us with the option of excess, and/or luxury. We've got more room than we know what to do with, so I suppose we're going to be filling the space up with food, or something. When I think of food, only three items come to mind: powdered soup, granola, and Cliff bars. A limited venue, I know but we may come upon more goodies to fill our bags while we're down there. Last year we went fast because we had a set destination, and only so much time to get there, this year we both look forward to a more leisurely pace, with more rest days, and fewer miles. My swiss cheese'd gloves from last year have since been replaced with less corroded gloves which have yet to bend themselves to my will, and hands. Tonight, we set off to find new lands, to boldly go where gringos have gone before. Armed only with our wits, and a pair of padded shorts we depart. Cue the Indiana Jones theme!
