The end of an era happened on Friday when my new passport came in the mail along with the cancelled old one. Many, many stamps adorn the inside of that puppy, as does this photo of me looking like a more unsavory South American than I really am. I'm pretty sure this picture got me stopped a few extra times than were warranted. My new picture has a collar.

Last weekend was Nashville
We'll be keeping a repository of all our pictures on Flicker. I'll probably post a healthy dose here, but you can always look at more there.
This photo is from last weekend's adventure to Nashville, to see Colin get married to Tiffany. The reception was on the Vanderbilt campus in the chapel complex, so no drinks were allowed. The siblings (that's Amberly with her sister Autumn and her brother Parker) got together for some post-nuptual merriment.

Sitting in California, ticking the days away
These first several entries will be stateside, driven in equal measure by my desire to get this thing off the ground and the barely-contained excitement at getting going already! Amberly & I have been in intense negotiations over the blog over the last few weeks. Our final decision has been to each keep one and reference the other when we have a particularly good entry. This is primarily motivated by her need to keep all her work intact for professional reasons, but also by my want to keep my own journal.
We've been reading a good deal of these things (travel blogs, that is) recently, and many of them start with an equipment list or similar such thing. I don't know if I will get around to cataloging the contents of my pack, but perhaps the contents of my mind will be fair game.
The last few available weekends we have spent gathering gear, storing our "real" lives away, and trying not to get too carried away. Got most of our first aid kit together today, as well as our preliminary probiotics (see a future entry) and camera case.
None of those things are very interesting to photograph, though... So, for Amberly's birthday, we went to Muir Beach to "test" some of the equipment for the trip, like the boots, the camera, and our high-tech moisture-wicking tops. We took a couple hour hike on the coastal trail and then returned to the beach to cool our heels in the Pacific. Everything worked wonders. This is a shot of us wrapping up the day, heading back into the beautiful Northern California hills. Rough winter we're having!
