I am about a month out from departure and feeling very appreciative for all the support. Tickets are bought, reservations made and the first practice packing has already happened. Looks like everything will fit.
For anyone who is interested there is going to be a going away "roast" of Joe on April 16, 4-7pm at St. Michael's. If you'd like to come and either gently poke fun at Joe or just enjoy a good meal in the company of good friends please sign up on the St. Michael's e-kiosk.
My plan is to occasionally update this blog while I am traveling and to write more extensively upon return.
