First Blog Post: 3 Days

There are only three full days left before I fly to Halifax to begin my adventure at sea.  I don't know how I feel about this.  It is both a long time to wait and a short time to do all of the things that must occur before I get on that airplane.  Tonight, I must add to the pile of objects on my bed and visualize how they will fit into two suitcases and one carry-on.  The dog is asleep on the carpet at my feet.  I am enjoying this blogging thing so far, if for no other reason than I can avoid packing for a few more minutes.
