And...I'm out! Goodbye democracy!

Well, the day is finally here. I can't believe it was only six months ago when I decided to embark on this crazy adventure. I decided to take the meaning of the word 'procrastination' to a new level and not start packing until yesterday. I still have some shopping and running around to do today before I'm all packed and ready to go, but I figure I've got time so why not use it? My flight leaves from the SLC airport tonight at 9:00 PM. We arrive in San Francisco at 10:00 PM, leave at 1:30 AM and fly about sixteen hours to Taipei (now THAT'S going to be fun), spend a couple hours there and then leave again at 7:30 AM (this is now about two days later mind you) and arrive in Hong Kong at 9:00 AM on August 2nd. So I'm thinking if I can survive the traveling over there, I will make it through any craziness I encounter within the next six months no problem. Thank you all for your love and support and I'm sure it will continue while I am away. I'll do my best to keep this blog up and running as much as possible so you can all stay updated on my life. Catch ya'll on the flip side!

This, my friends, is China in all its glory. I can't wait! Just thought I'd share a little of my excitement with you...
