Loose ends.

Passport - check.
Hike sack packed with clothes for 3 seasons - check.
Malaria medication - check.
Journal - check.

The list runs on and on. But I'm pretty sure I have everything I'll need for the next four months.

I'm in Vancouver now staying with my dad who will take my sister and I to the airport later this afternoon.

This has been a day I've counted down to for over 2 years now. I knew I wanted to travel after university. I just wasn't sure what it would all look like (ie. who I'd go with, where we'd go, how we would get there.) But it's all come to fruition and I couldn't be more grateful.

Today we'll meet up with my cousin who is moving to Australia, but he'll be travelling with us to Greece for the first leg of his trip. So, needless-to-say there will be a family send off that we'll be apart of. Stiff drinks are a must. Not because of the family time, but because of the looming flight take off. I'm not a very good flyer.

Mom is taking a flight before us. We're meeting in London. She's given us precise directions as to where to find her... a bar stool, in a pub, over a few pints. hmmm thanks mom that makes it easy.

So I'll let you know just how that turns out.
