And we're off . . .

I woke up this morning (after an unfortunately late night) with a headache and an upset stomach. Luckily, two Excedrin Migraine tablets, some Tums, and an allergy pill later, and I'm feeling normal again. I'm leaving much later than I intended, both because I tried (tried being the operative word) to sleep in a little, and because I tried (there's that word again) to download some software onto my laptop so I can edit photos on the trip. In any event, I'm finally ready to hit the road!
