4 Days 5 Hours Until it Begins

Well the title of the post pretty much says it all... There are only about 4 days and 5 hours (that is only 101 hours) left before I leave from Dallas to begin the traveling to Rome.  Kind of a daunting fact really, but I am ready and I am really excited.  I have been packing and repacking my panniers running through checklists to try and find out what I am forgetting (which I am sure there is something, there always is...).  I have not been riding on my bike at all since the last time I posted.  I have been really busy with moving people, selling stuff, and just generally getting ready to move back to Dallas, right before I leave for this Euro Trip.

Since my last post, Ben and I have done a fair bit of more planning, and at this point have most of our lodging locked down for the trip, which is a really nice thing to have finished.  The trip itinerary page on the blog has been updated and practically reflects what we will be riding.  That being said though, Ben and I have been talking about maybe breaking up our 115 mile day by spreading some of the mileage on the day before, that way we are not doing more than 100 miles for two consecutive days. Ben and I have also been working on trying to figure out what to do in Iceland and trying to figure that stuff all out.  We have not been too productive in this regard, as I have and will be really busy the next few days with moving and such.  But we have many hours sitting in airports and on planes in our near future so, it should not be too hard to figure out the rest during that time.  Well I think that is all I have for now, I just wanted to post a quick update.  My next post will probably be on Wednesday when we are leaving.  

Oh yeah and one more note, I graduated yesterday so that is awesome!!!
