Taking off

Well, we're supposed to leave tomorrow. I'm excited but also very scared. I've been reading a-lot about all the things that can go wrong (in order to avoid them) and it's a long list. But Hanson and I are in good shape and there is no one I'd trust more to have on a trip like this.

Anyway, freight hopping starts tomorrow.
