It's time!  In just about an hour (hopefully) we will be loaded and on the road.  The Rosbach's stayed the night so we would be up early and off and away.  I woke Sheila up just before 6 and we got up and showered and I shaved (maybe last time for a week--but then, that is not unusual).  With all of our experience and our planning for this trip we figure we are well prepared.  So far nothing really unusual has happened, but it is obviously very early, so who know what might occur.  I really don't know how my journal entries will go for the next week.  They should be okay on Shelli's laptop and if I am able to remember the passwords.  When I get back home I will be a year older!  Right now I am planning on starting out without a ride around the park.  I feel in pretty good shape, and I impressed my doctor yesterday during my visit (he says I am a straight A patient.)

But I remember the sore feet and the tired body from years ago when I was much younger, so we'll see how it goes.  Time for some breakfast and final packing and then off we will go.
