Here I am – for real – writing during the infant moments of this journey I have been dreaming of for so very long. It is still such a surreal feeling to be sitting here, in the Calgary International Airport, imagining that I will soon be in the air and officially beginning my travels.

It’s hard to leave, but it is time to go. As I looked at my parents, and Jen, Erin, Tracy, and Lisa, I thought about how fortunate I am to have such a wonderful group to see me off, and seeing them in seven months will be a time to savor.
