Yup, we're going!

While some have threatened to steal our passports, and others have threatened to lock us in our rooms, Adam and I are really going to Taiwan! We've gotten our visas and bought our tickets, now all we need to do is pack, right? Well, actually there's quite a bit going on before that. Adam is working hard to finish his last paper for his Master's degree in History at Clark while still fitting in time to work at ITS. I finished school in May but I'll still be working full-time until July 5th (yes, the day after the 4th, and a Thursday...don't ask). Having somehow just realized today that I only have 2 1/2 weeks left in my apartment, much of my time will be spent packing and throwing things away. We're leaving Massachusetts on the 13th and taking a leisurely drive back to Minnesota, getting there on the 17th. I'll then be packing up again and heading to Tortola for a week with my family on the 18th while Adam...does something else really fun? We'll try to squeeze in every last bit of time with our friends and family (and doctors, dentists, and hairdressers) and then leave for good on the 2nd of August. Hopefully between the blog, e-mail, Skype, and web-cams we'll get to keep in touch with all of you (until you can come visit!).
