10 Day and Counting

Its almost here. I get nervous just thinking about it and I know Amanda feels the same. Feet and hands tingling. Are we ready? We have racked our brains for things we need, but aside from clothing, we think we got it all. But how do you pack for 24 days? What would you bring if you only needed the necessities ? Last Sunday Amanda and I had a Champagne brunch at a place called Italian Cottage. The picture of Amanda with the monkeys is from there. What a great day. We got an email from Kevin and Molly securing us our hotel reservations for New York. Thank you Kevin and Molly and Molly's sister. We were able to finalize the rest 0f our reservations and now the trip is in the hands of God. Prayers for us and the bus are greatly appreciated. And a big thanks to all those who helped in the planning process. We fly to Idaho with supplies on saturday May 16th. Departure is planned for May 17th and we should be back in Sacramento Monday June 8th. All systems go!
