DAY 1 - Outbound I

Wednesday, 20 April 2005

As the clock starts to wind down, I'm still frantically sorting and packing clothing and trying to decide what is too little vs too much for the month-long trip. A little voice pops up in my head with Rick Steve's voice saying, "That's too much stuff!" Locke is relaxed and has finished packing. He watches with amusement my last-minute circus act as I still can't quite decide...

It' now 5:35pm, and the shuttle arrives a little early for our 6pm pickup. I have 5 minutes to make a final decision and throw the rest of my items into my luggage and head out the door. At this point, I'm hoping that I didn't forget anything significant. Got all the important documents (passports, international driver's license, e-tickets) itineraries, maps, etc. Okay, we're going, but can't help feeling like I left something...

Once out the door, there's a little surprise  Locke got us a limo for the ride to the airport! What a way to start our tour  in a little style!
