I'm ready!!!

Good bye, house! Good bye, Pat!

I can't believe the day is finally here!  Even more, I can't believe I got everything done.  I'm so relieved.

At home, the only thing left to do is cast my absentee ballot.  I'll do so on the car ride down to San Fran today.  There are lots of issues and things to decide on, and I'm terrified of the coming election day.   Glad to be watching from afar!

Mags is yelling that we're late leaving

Now it's the car ride south, spending all day with my best friend Magdalena (for whom it is slightly, but not totally convenient to be delivering me to the airport - thanks Mags!), and then 25 hours on planes and in airports.  I'm headed to a couchsurfers apartment in Bangkok for my first night - a Venezuelan woman who seems really cool.  Okay... Mags is yelling that we're late leaving (we are.  Sorry.  I'm bad at being on time.)

All my love! Jema :)
