Leaving on a Jet Plane
Our going away party on Friday night exceeded all of our expectations. So many people came out (and stayed until 2:30 in the morning - much to the neighborhood's dismay), and everyone was really fantastic. We can't thank Travis and Kelley enough for having all of us over, and everyone else for coming out and wishing us well.Sooo... It looks like we're finally out of here. We've been talking about this for so long, it seems strange to actually be going. Right now we're at Trevor's folks' place in LaConner, gathering up the last few loose ends before heading for the airport. I suggested one last hot-tub soak for the road, but it seems we have little details like making all our bags the right weight, and making sure our tax stuff gets taken care of.
Our flight is after midnight, then we have a couple of stops before Delhi, where we'll be greeted with a sign saying "Emily Larson - Hotel Namaskar". $10 airport pickup seemed like a pretty reasonable luxury, when we'll be disembarking with all our ski gear in tow. I've always wanted to be one of those folks with their name on the little sign.
We definitely owe a lot of thanks to everyone who's helped us out the last couple months getting all of our ducks in a row to leave - our friends and family have been extremely generous in offering us rides, places to stay, and help with whatever we've needed. Thanks, guys!

have a great time and be safe! we'll see you on the flipside. looking forward to following your blog. one suggestion that i would have no idea how to do, but since you're more tech savvy than me you might: it would be cool if you could put a link to a world map and do kind of a connect the dots with the places you've been and are at. talk to you later. love,
