The countdown begins...

Well I can't believe it but its less than two weeks before we hop on a plane to Quito. We've both had an amazing year in Toronto and I've loved being able to catch up and hang out again with the friends we missed when we were in Korea (and Halifax). I feel so lucky to have spent a year living next door to Geoff and Bev and having Mom, Dad and Nana just a half hour drive away. And it was great to reconnect with Dan's family when they came up for the big graduation (and the lobster feast wasn't too shabby either)! 
Our trip details are starting to come together and Soon-day's complex international travel plans seem to be working out. After a flurry of packing today I'm feeling a little more prepared to take off (thanks Mom) and Dan is ready to go with all of his new MEC gear (except maybe the ridiculous-looking joggers' fanny pack...that might not find its way to the plane...). 
Overall, I'm sad to leave but excited to go - isn't it always that way?
We're both really looking forward to some quality time up at Liz's cottage and Rockwell Island over the next week and a bit. The last few days are always the sweetest!
Until next time,
