Prep Time !

This is just one of many nights that I've been up late researching for our trip. Excited is only one of the words that describes our feelings about this adventure we're getting ready for. Welcome aboard and we hope you stick around to cyber trek with us. It should be interesting. The adrenaline is rushing even though we're five months away from departure, but not simply because we're anticipating living with backpacks hoisted on our frames for days and months unknown. We are most elated over the ample healthcare we are taking with us in the form of vaccines and pills. I am especially gloating over the series of vaccines that without doubt must be delivered through needles. I would rather rub some salve or drink some discolored tonic but despite my frantic research for less blood pressure rising options I'll spend the next five months watching Mateo take it like a pro while I try really hard to channel my chi. 2 shots down and a lot more to go.
