It's a "Leaving on a Jet Plane" moment

It's crunch time, kids! Danielle & I will be boarding the plane about 15 hours from now. My backpack is empty. I've thrown everything in the general direction of the backpack, but that's about as close as I've gotten. Hope it all fits!

I'm super jealous of Carolyn. She gets on her plane three hours after us, and will arrive in London three hours before us. That just gives you an idea of how frickin' huge Canada is. She'll get to sit and listen to cool accents for a couple hours at the airport until we roll in.

Then it's off to the city, where I expect we'll connect with EC (link to his travel blog is on the side) at some point. Then Matty will join us from Wales on Friday for a fun pub-filled visit. Then who knows! I'll try to get this thing updated at some point in London to let you know I've arrived safe-and-sound. And don't forget to check Carolyn's blog too (link also on the side), because she'll have more fun stories and pictures!

Here's a pretty map of our expected route, because no one actually seems to know where Romania is!

Oh, and I'm mostly feeling better, health-wise. Still have a bit of a cold/productive cough, but nothing crazy.
