It's hard to believe that time is slipping away and our start date will 
be here in almost 5 weeks.

  It's a strange place filled with to-do lists, anticipation, and a bit of
aprehension too.  Work has been giving me plenty of reasons to be happy
to be moving on - hardware problems and long hours taking care of things that 
"should" be going more smoothly. 

  Bill's been up in Teton National Park doing some climbing this week.  He also 
stopped in Hailey, Idaho on the way up to pick up the camper we bought on e-bay.
It's a FourWheel camper that fits on the back of the truck and will be our 
home for our travels through the US and where-ever else we can drive.  

There was a message on the machine today from Bill saying 
he's down from climbing and on his way home.  I'm really looking forward
to seeing him (and the new camper)!  Pictures shortly....
