Well, we’re here! We daydreamed about the day we would leave on ‘The 30th Year Plan’ for over 2 years and now it has come and gone. We are still trying to wrap our heads around everything – the crazy 1+ months leading up to departure, the actual departure, and even what is in store for us in the future. In short, it has been a wild and surreal few weeks.

Months ago we thought we would be able to kick back and relax the few weeks leading up to our take off. It makes us laugh just thinking about that now.

We will spare you the boring details, but downsizing, moving, and getting all your affairs in order to leave the country for over a year is similar to trying to walk a misbehaved dog down a busy street, while eating a sandwich and talking on the phone.

Somehow we even found some time in there to do a podcast with Brooklyn from The Brooklyn Diaries on Q103.1. You can check that out here —-> http://ckqq.streamon.fm/listen-pl-609?smc=3.

Going into the first week of our trip we are feeling relieved (that the chaos of packing is over), excited, and extremely loved and supported by our friends and family. Thank you to everyone who ensured we left town with a hangover.

(*Note to self: Farewell parties should happen minimum 3 days before departure.)
