The car is packed and we are ready to go.  We have things to do before heading out of town, but should be on the road by 7 pm tonight.  We will post later tonight or tomorrow morning to let you know how far we got.   We will miss our friends and our family very much, but we look forward to sharing the trip with all of you and the new friends we make along the way.  Be safe each and every one of you!    It beings now :D
