Packing up.

My plan was to show my passport photos and my packing photos all together, then add a clever comment, but I could not figure out how to do it. At least with those passport photos you can be sure that you are at the right blog. I've gotten everything ready, and my life will be out of that 60 liter backpack until further notice. I'm glad that I have Burton packing skills, or I could have never found room for everything.

It Begins

At the request of my family and friends I have started this blog. I'm off to Lebanon/Syria to study Arabic, and I will be chronicling my travels here. I will try to keep the posts interesting, grammatically sound, and frequent. I do, however, have a history of coming up short in these areas, so no promises. Anyway, there is not much to report on now since I am still in America, but once I get my settled in the Levant I will post again.
