The Day Before

We are looking at 29 hours until we're flying over the Atlantic and headed into Europe. Shane has safely arrived in Londontown. There are still some loose ends to tie up here before I head out but it is partially setting in that tonight is the last night I'll be sleeping in the US for awhile. Still, there are a myriad of emotions circling my head. As I sit here and type Mo is jetting from Oakland towards Logan. I guess this is the first part of the trip where it gets official. Basically, once Mo is here I am in travel mode. Perhaps it was the way I was raised or the fact that starting at age 14 I was mobile and in San Francisco but I'm always watching people when in transit. Who is this guy? Why is he coming at me at that angle? Threat? No. Move on to the next person. We're coming up to an alley, time to put myself closest to the alley and then move on. So basically, starting this afternoon I'm not going to rest until I know that Anna and Mo are safely back home. Probably not the best way to live life but it is what I do. Regardless there will be time to relax and have fun. Still I gotta be heads up seven up. In just a few hours I'll be in a land I've only read about and seen in pictures. I must admit that I am still nervous but filled with excitement as well. I like being in control in every situation and it is clear that as we travel I am going to be faced with challenges in which I don't have a working knowledge of the language nor with the land. Luckily, when you have Joe and add Shane things just work and even if they don't, like our boy Will Smith, we make it look good.
