Leaving Minnesota

---

I have my bags packed. Everything is in order here at home (I hope) for my 7 week absence. I am so ready to get out of here. Now I just wait for Ben to get home to take me to the airport.

My flight leaves the cities this evening and I will be in Bali Thursday afternoon and in East Timor by Friday afternoon.

So, now I am left to wonder about what this trip will be like. I really have few concrete plans. I will try to update this blog whenever possible.

I am now going to go back to pacing back and forth through my house, anxiously waiting....
