Before the trip

No introduction post here, because frankly, if you are reading this you should know who I am.
But here are the basics.

• Countdown to road trip is about 8 days right now.
• Mike and I will be driving from Danville, CA to Anchorage, AK with a few stops along the way.
• We are driving my little 2007 Honda Fit named Louise (Weezy for short).
  
• I am only bringing things that will fit in my car. No trailer to lug behind us.
• I will be chronicaling our trip to the best of my ability using cameras (nice ones and my shitty iphone camera), video camera (my Flip) and this blog.
  
• I have never driven for more than 7ish hours before, so this will be interesting for me. You should also pray that Mike does not want to slaughter me by the end of the trip. Really. O_o
  

Those are the basic bulletpoints. I will be posting periodically before we leave on the trip as I think of things that might be of interest to my friends and family. I will keep you abreast of how the packing is going. If I have stuff that I am looking to get rid of or if there's anything I need.

And dear friends, thank you for loving and supporting me through this. Without all of your kind words and advice I don't know if I would have the strength to make this move. I will miss you all dearly when I go, but I am merely a plane ride away (or if you're crazy like me, a 3,000 mile road trip!)
