Finals thoughts before departure

---

We are leaving tomorrow morning at 10 am to begin our 8-month concert tour of Eastern Europe. Our first concert is in Latvia on Sunday evening. We will leave Norway, go to Sweden (which takes about 10 hours) then catch a ferry to Latvia (which takes also about 10 hours). I am excited but at the same time a little apprehensive at the thought of spending the next eight months constantly with eight other people. Over the last four months, I’ve started to let go of the need for large amounts of alone time but I have a feeling I will need to let go of that even more.
