So, we are one day away from leaving and I am feeling nervous, anxious, excited, ready, and thanks to all of you, loved.  I am in awe of all the support and phone calls we have received.  It makes me teary just thinking about it.  I can't post a photo of her until I take it with my own camera due to the way the file came in when we received it.  So.... I will make it available when we see her!!!

Our Itinerary is this:

As you can see, we will be busy.  We will have quite a few free days so we will see things like a local village, and there is this mountain thing we can do (don't think I know the details, we're just happy we all will have underwear to wear).   Of course I will be posting the tiny details when we actually do them.
