Departure Day Nears (Hector’s thoughts)

Wow! Can’t believe this is my last weekend here before leaving. The preparation has been Hector hectic. Trying to juggle my day job, jobs around the house, jobs for others, shopping for all our necessaties, and meetings with friends and family have really made time fly by. There have been many details to discuss and decisions to be made even right up to this last weekend. Hundreds of emails between the Gang of Four have been used to discuss these details. One would have thought that all would be in place at this point but it doesn’t seem so. This type of prep work has stressed me somewhat and has taken some of the fun out of going. I’m still needing to get my head wrapped around the idea that the time has actually come. It’s like my head has not yet accepted the reality that lays before me. The endless and wonderful support I’ve received from family and friends makes it even more difficult to point that bike south. It’s time to stop worrying about whether or not the bike will run well or crash and time to get into more of a ”this will be a fun trip” mode. – Hector the Pup

This entry has really been about learning to use this site to make an entry before I leave. I wouldn’t want to go and find out I can’t update the site. Many friends have expressed an interest in wanting to peek in from time to time. Just making this entry is making me feel better prepared already. Now I want to see that I can add a photo. This is an old photo from years past in Canon Beach, Oregon but captures the more laid back attitude I should be taking toward this trip.
