And in case I don't see ya, good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight!

Good morning Colorado! And good morning to all who read this post!

I'M AT THE AIRPORT,AAAAAAAAA! Holy cow... It's crazy, this trip has been just an idea, a fantastical, distant, vague idea for a number of months. I'm struggling to adjust my mind set, to convince myself of the trip's tangibleness.

So, i took my clothes out of my pack, and put all of the things in the outside pockets inside so that i could check my backpack with some degree of confidence. That weight was 20.5lbs. I'm totally going to end up being under 30!

Eeeeeeeeee, I  just can't believe this is real life.
