Today is the start of the incredible journey and we are both trying to frantically pack the things we might need.  I am only making it through this part because of the knowledge that we will NOT be in the middle of the jungle, but quite near civilization with plenty of amenities.  Our flight leaves late tonight and hopefully we will be able to find some rest on the plane and arrive in London ready to conquer the continent.  This is very exciting, however the reality that tomorrow we will be thousands of miles away from Georgia has not hit yet.  I don’t think it will until we are out on the street trying to figure out the tube system in London, but that is something to look forward to. 

We hope that this forum will provide a way for all of you to keep up with our activities and to know that things are going well.  Thanks for being interested in our lives and we are looking forward to seeing what the next five weeks will bring.  Bon Voyage!
