It's going to be a tough transition but totally worth it. We still have a lot do before we leave in early July: pack up our apt in North Beach, move everything into a storage unit in San Jose, find plant-sitters, get immunizations, make last minute doctor visits, and say bye to family and friends!
We'll plan on keeping everyone up to date on our travels with pictures and stories that we'll place here.
Soon we'll be off to the land of the giraffes..... :)
