Underway

Finally! I'm at the airport! This is now happening. At this point, I just want to get it over, honestly. It was real tough leaving the house this morning, saying goodbye.

And I have quickly discovered it's a bitch to haul all this gear around! Check out what I have to lug.


EDIT: You can't really tell from the pic how big this stuff is. The backpack on the right is the size of one of those roll-on luggage pieces you place in overhead bins on an airplane. Everything else is too big to bring aboard and has to be checked.
