Wow...it's finally happening. We have 2 days to finish packing up all of our stuff and haul it to La Grande to put in a storage unit. Then 2 weeks of hanging our with my parents, and lots of time with Jen and baby Irelyn. Then road trip...Yellowstone, the Grand Tetons (going to be cold), the Grand Canyon, VEGAS baby, San Diego, SanFrancisco, the Redwoods, Crater Lake, Bend...can't wait to see you Carol and Matt and then back to LG.

Leaving on a jet plane December 12 to spend 2 days in Washington DC, then onto England to spend a month with family and friends. We will be in Thailand in January and spend a month there learning to Dive and becoming acclimatized to backpacking and Asia. Then we will go to Cambodia, David will fullfill his promise and jump into some project work. I will take this time to truely explore, not just Asia, but myself. I will go to Vietnam, Singapore, Maylasia before meeting back up with David (I will be missing him terribly by now) and we will venture onto Indonesia. Then we head down under...to Australia and New Zealand.

Wow...I am so incredibly excited, it is not quite real yet, but can't wait for it to become so.

Talk to you all soon.

Love, K
