So close...

It's 12 hours till our flight leaves!  I have so many people to thank for making this trip possible.  I will start with my wonderful husband, who agreed to accompany me on this crazy adventure.  My family and team back at the farm are keeping everything running while I'm away, and I am so grateful to them - my mom and dad and Emme & Kate - you all make this possible, and so much more.  A huge thank you to all who came out to the fundraiser last Sunday and those who donated or bid on items online through my auction.  I am really touched by the support of so many.  We raised much more than I could have hoped for, and that will make this whole experience so much more enjoyable, as now I won't be worrying about how to pay for everything abroad while still covering all the expenses at home.  That is an immense relief, and I will try to focus my energy even more into learning all I can to share with everyone.

I will be updating this blog regularly with notes from my training with Oliver and stories of our time over seas.  Please check back regularly.  I will now try (probably unsuccessfully) to get some sleep!

Thanks for visiting,
Eliza
