Ready to be there

Once again i'm waiting till the night before to accomplish my first assignment. What else is new. I have my pack packed...to the brim. Weighs about 5 lbs more than i had hoped, but thats not going to put a damper on my trip. I say that now, but the 1st mile might be a different story. I am excited for the unplanned. The things i am not going to be expecting, will be the things that will truly make this trip unique. Thanks to Dr. Reddick for his paintence in replying to my worry-wort of a mother who has recycled the same questions in a new email to ask him daily :) because she didn't believe mine were legit. See you in BWI.
