I made it! I finally arrived at 8:45 tonight - not bad considering I left Fresno at 8:50 this morning. The drive wasn't as bad as one might imagine. I suppose the fact that I was so eager to get home might have helped a little bit. That and some mixed CDs I created a few years back. I made a few stops along the way for gas and food.

We had a poker dealer come in and entertain the guys for the night. No, there were no dancers or crazy drinking at this party. Night went off without a hitch and was the last restful day of my time state side. ha... read more

Ah! First entry! How exciting!! So I leave in 35 hours, give or take 22 minutes. Wheeeee!!!!! So, how much have I packed for this trip I leave for the day after tomorrrow you ask? Well, if I had to give it on a scale of 1-10, 10 being I could leave right this very second, I would have to give my readiness a good 6.32. And about 4.6 of that came from just this evening.
