TOMORROW!

It doesn't even feel like this is the last night here for a long time. It's just another completely normal evening. Aside from packing, checking off check lists and double-checking everything imaginable. That's out of the ordinary.

Needless to say, we're pumped to be undertaking this adventure. But man, we are going to miss everyone and everything about home. It's not the easiest thing to pack it all up and leave. I am incredibly thankful for the support and excitement of all our friends and families, and even the random people we've met at our bank or restaurants or wherever the subject of our trip comes up.

It's very different. I've always been on the other side, waving goodbye to whoever is going away as they drive away for the last time in a long time. This has been a surreal week. We stopped working (I've always had another job lined up to go right into), which was instantly weird when I woke up and realized I had no where to go, but just checklists to check off. 

I'll try to do a post tomorrow with a picture of our completed packs (yeah, believe it or not, I'm still not done packing...). We're so thankful for your support. Next-next post should be a lot more interesting than this and the previous. Haha. Sadly, we won't have wi-fi for our laptop on our train... but we'll be in contact via our phones. We'll arrive in LA on the 23rd, we'll kill about 12 hours, then hop on our plane (I'm sure it will be that easy of a process--right?) and arrive on the 25th after a 13 hour plane ride. The first two nights we'll be sleeping in a hostel in Auckland, and I'll update then with a lot of pictures (I'm assuming).

So! Here's to tomorrow (really today, since it's 1 AM)!
