Jess - have a great time and we look forward to reading your blog to keep up with your travels. Take lots of pictures and keep good notes - we want to hear everything about your trip when you get back. In fact - why don't you plan on cooking us your favorite "local" meal when you get back while you regale us with your adventures. Your dad can provide the beverages. We will keep you in our prayers (and your Mom & Dad as well).
