This could be interesting

Alright. 5 days before my departure. I've got the red-eye flight leaving Monday morning at 1:15 so I've got a few days left to round up the last of my travel gear and tie up any loose ends here at home. I'm feeling fairly relaxed, as calm and collected as anyone can prior to living out of a backpack for five months.

I was feeling quite overwhelmed a couple weeks ago as my brain was overheating from the abundance of travel guidebooks I had been browsing. I have a fairly good idea of what I will be doing in South America over the next month and a half. As for Europe I will just wing-it. As for the rest of the trip, I will see far too many things and meet far too many people between now and November to even think about what to do in Southeast Asia and Australia.

I didn't really have anything to "blog" about but wanted to test this out. More to come soon!
