...it's really happening :)

This weekend it will be two weeks until we leave. I don't remember the last time a 'countdown' meant so much to me...

We've finalized our dog-sitting/house-sitting person - Hannah's boyfriend is going to stay here and take care of everything, he really seems kinda excited about it! He's determined to work on Hannah's motorcycle and try to get it fixed and running before she gets back...

The dogs are really comfortable with him now so I'm finally relaxing and letting excitement kick in!

My friend Patrick (whom I worked with at Disney 18 years ago) lives in Seattle and he's going to meet us at the hotel and drive us to find snow so we can go SLEDDING!!

Again, I hope to have plenty of pictures of each of our events...

Keep your fingers crossed that I can master this camera before we go!!

Juneau

Exactly one month from today, I will be flying in a helicopter over a glacier, then landing on it.

I will get to reach down and touch it.

I cannot say these words out loud without choking up.

My dream of a lifetime is closer and closer....

I'm a little nervous...

... I'm not sure if we are going to be able to do the Whale Watching in Victoria. I haven't received a confirmation yet, and we should have by now. Jay says that it's a very popular tour, and it may be booked full.

Let's keep fingers crossed, okay?

Nearly ready...

Well gang, it's almost done.

We leave in about 6 weeks, and the only thing I have left to do is finalize two of our excursions.

I'll announce as soon as they're done :)

Once we get going on the trip, I hope to post pictures every night - I'll post the links to the index files of the images...
