First Post and T-Minus 4 Days...

---

Welcome to my travel blog. This is so new to me! In fact, this is basically my first visit to the site and I'm already posting...Anyway, getting over the newness; you didn't come here to read this blather...

Some basic info about my rapidly approaching trip:
I fly to Fort Knox, KY, on Sunday, May 22, for some sort of soldier-readiness training. I have no idea what this is yet. Then I fly to New York on May 27, and on to Beijing, China, on May 28! We (I'll expound on the "we" eventually) begin work with Cross Cultural Solutions (http://www.crossculturalsolutions.org/countries/asia/volunteer-china/xian.aspx) almost immediately. On June 19, we fly back into New York, and on to Fort Knox for me. I'll arrive home on June 22.

That's enough warm-up posting for now, but I'll try to post again tomorrow (though, I'm sure you won't even read this post for a few days). I'm gonna try to form a habit of consistent blogging for this trip, which seems quite unlike me. Interesting thought, eh?
