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.

The picture of the two of you is beautiful. I am so excited for you and jealous of you guys. My only suggestions for you on your pilgrimage are;
- Visit Abyssinia (Ethiopia and Eritrea areas)
- Try not to get pregnant on your trip.
- Get used to eating flies now. (tee-hee)
You are going to have a great time.
I am sure that this trip will assist you in your psychological and spiritual growth individually and as a couple.

Salaam alaikum, hope you guys are well. The Wedding picture is breath taking although you guys know I am not much of a grass person myself. It's moving day for me but wanted to make sure I visited before I disconnected my computer. Take care of each other and come back in one piece.

Salaam,

I guess tomorrow is the big day, can't believe you're actually leaving. Be careful, watch out for each other and don't hesitate to ask for anything you need.
