I'm too overwhelmed to think. The cars are packed. The house is empty. We're ready... as we'll ever be. This is it: "tonight's the night, tonight's the night, tonight's the night".

I can't promise we'll update from the road, but we will try, there's always public libraries. For those of you who are curious: here's a map of our route. It's a little on the scenic side, but we figure this might be our only opportunity to go driving around, site seeing for a week.

I can't wait to be there. And at the same time, I can't wait to see my family and friends again. I love you all. Wish us luck. With 26 hundred miles ahead of us, we might need a little.
