t- 1 week (give or take)

Just a test post really. Will update from the road as we can, so starting next week check back often to monitor our progress.

the current plan is to go east from our presumed point of arrival-- to hit Berlin, Prague, and Vienna and then see we we are, how much time and money we've spent and how much longer I can stand being away from boyby (or how much longer the grands can stand chasing after him).

D's passport finally got here. Our railpasses came this week. Now, we're simply waiting for the Estonian phone chip. (There's a long story here, but fortunately said chip comes via Miami and not via Estonia)

We need to pack under 30lb. I currently have 12lbs to spare, but that's not including guidebooks, toiletries, and the various electronic equipment D won't leave home without. Who needs socks, underwear, or even a razor when you can have cell phones, mp3 players, and PDA's.

There's still lots of little things to do, but the important stuff is taken care off, including the tax return which goes to the PO tomorrow and will finance this here adventure.
