Countdown, January 21, 2007

While Tommy watches the NFL playoffs, thought I'd get our blog started. We are planning to leave the San Francisco Bay area about 1 February, driving to Los Angeles on the first leg of our much talked about adventure (driving a portion of the Pan American Highway). We'll stay in LA for a couple of days, and then head for Brownsville, Texas where we cross over into Mexico.

Thirty some years ago, Tommy travelled for 13 months in a self-converted van. He faithfully wrote in his journal every day, including a full day on September 31st. This wasn't a date mistake, because there are complete entries for September 30th and October 1st. Tommy often has different universe experiences!

Our new passports arrived on Saturday, so we can cross that worry off the list. Next week will be busy, getting papers notarized, etc. etc. And I have to finish a window commission for Cynthia. We will be busy! But we will be back!
