There are 16 days before we start our trip of a lifetime. A lot has developed over the past few weeks. Seth has successfully finished his first year of teaching and is back home in Iowa and Minnesota relaxing with his family and friends. Jack has eight more days of teaching and will fly out to San Francisco to meet Seth and get going.
At this point, I'd say our excitement outweighs any other feeling we've got going on. A lot of people have been asking about our adventure recently, so this will be our best feeble attempt to update y'all on what's going on in our lives.
Sure, we could've trained just a little more, broken down our bikes and put them together just one more time and discussed our route for just another half hour, but there's something to be said about excitement and a positive attitude fueling our early days.
We're going to have tired legs, sunburnt arms and dirty clothes. Times won't always be easy and we will be pushed further mentally than we ever have before. But you know what?
We get to spend 2.5 months without any work obligations spending each day with each other slowly trodding across our beautiful country on a once-in-a-lifetime trip.
What can be better than that?
Here's to the adventure.
