Well the time has finally come.  Tomorrow is D-day...Departure Day that is, it has been a long time coming for both of us, we've been talking about taking off traveling since we first met three years ago today.  It first really started to hit us on moving day last friday.  Closing on the house at 10 am came especially early since we weren't packed up yet (Greg loves last minute).  But with a little help from some close friends (thanks Bob and RJ and Eric the night before) we were able to evacuate the old homestead in just the nick of time.  After that it was one final week in the greater albany area at our bestest of friends' house (thanks RJ and April and Stoli and Willy and Sophie).  One final week of partying (WELCOME TO ALBANY!) and we're finally ready to rock it out around the world.  One final stop off to say goodbye to our little kitty Micky (Thanks for looking after him Bob!) and then we're off to destination number one in Toronto, Canada.  We know throughout the next year we'll explore so many new things together, with many ups and downs which will  only result in giving us a better understanding of our place in the world.  We just want to thank everyone for being behind us and supporting us throughout this transition.  Hopefully we'll be posting new blogs quite frequently but if we don't for quite some time it's only because we're having way too much fun!  Catch you on the flip side!  Greg and Jo
