Getting Ready...

If you're reading thing, most likely I have shared this lovely sight with you as a way to share my adventure this summer. As I am typing, anticipation is building because I fly out on Saturday, super early. I'm both excited and nervous...not sure which is dominating at the moment but the constant fluctuation of emotions is certainly creating an insominatic induced trance of constant waiting. At any rate, the point is, I can't wait to be on the move--a kind of educational "manifest destiny" as Ashley Goes West.
