Today we started getting ready for the next big tale...the next adventure. This one a little different from the last which makes it ever more exciting!
This time we have Bailey joining us as well as some good friends from each coast. We won't be riding our own bikes..this time we will be renting our rides (ya I know...sounds a bit like prostitution and I am sure my bike feels the same way). We will also be meeting some old (not older) friends down there and we have made all our reservations ahead of time. No leaving it to chance this time for two very big reasons...larger group and larger snakes. Yup, not a fan of snakes of any kind! Not sure I am willing to "chance" the desert that much yet.
Even though Bailey has happily provided the daily countdown to the day we leave, today the reality of how close we are to getting there hit us all. We pulled together all our riding gear, first aid kit, clothes and started planning how it gets packed and testing to make sure it all fits in our side bags. Stopping just to take a minute, looking at each other in our silent list check we immediately realized how close we were and at that very moment, in unison, burst out in joyful song....actually it was more like teenage scream of excitement but still had a melody!
We are so close, four more sleeps......my Grandmother always told us to never wish your life away when we said we couldn't wait for this day or that...but I have to believe she would forgive me three days!
