We're OFF - to the ends of the earth!

This is it - we're off!! We actually fly out on Sunday, but I'm not sure I'll be able to get back here tomorrow with all the last minute preparations, so I thought I'd say goodbye tonight.

For those of you who don't know - we are taking off to ride our bikes from Alaska to Argentina. It's just the four of us - me, my husband, and our 10-year-old twin boys. You can read about our journey at www.familyonbikes.org

I'm really, really, really nervous about getting on the plane - that tandem box is so big! I've spent hours and hours on the phone talking with travel agents and the airline customer service reps and they assure me the bike can go on - but I won't believe it until it's actually on there. And we've also got a whole bucketful of flights to get up there, so I hope nothing gets lost or damaged in transit.

Anyway, if you would send up prayers and good thoughts on Sunday and Monday while we're in transit, I'd really appreciate it!

Once we leave here, we will be totally out of contact with the world until we arrive in Fairbanks around the last week in June. We'll post to our blog to let people know we've arrived as soon as we arrive. You can follow along with us at www.familyonbikes.org/blog

Happy Trails!!

Thanks! I'm trying to get rid of that knot in the pit of my stomach, but it won't go away - I'm sure it'll be with me at least until I get on the plane!

Thanks everyone! We leave home in 27 hours - not to return again for 2 1/2 years!!

Thanks! The clock is ticking - and the time is flying away. I'm getting more nervous by the minute.
