Can you really blame me for spending most of my last week in town at wrightsville beach?
After a grueling 6 hour shopping day I now appreciate how much planning must go into these types of trips. My stubborn decision to travel all 10 weeks with one carry-on size bag has made things much more difficult than they needed to be. All the clothes must be quick-dry and wrinkle-free (resistant) and somehow I have to try to keep the total weight under 30 lbs. I am close to being ready, however, and I cant wait to takeoff.
Anyways, now for some actual information. I'm flying Delta out of Raleigh-Durham airport to Heathrow in London with a quick stop at Logan International in Boston. I'll leave Thursday (the 9th) and arrive the morning of the 10th, where I'll be spending the day by myself in London. It should be good to get acclimated to the city while I wait for the rest of my group to arrive. I'm sure I'll be battling jet lag all day anyway.
Nothing like an early morning fishing to start off the day. Caught 7 bluefish and one spanish mackeral this morning with my dad and my soon-to-be brother in law Gage. An ominous storm came over the beach about an hour after we began trolling, forcing us to cut our morning short. Still, being the first day out fishing in almost a year it was a great time.

In preparation for this summer's traveling I've created this blog to post pictures and updates. Its meant for family and friends since not everyone has a facebook. The website should be easy to remember and I hope you'll all contribute with comments to help keep me engaged and posting. I'm not so sure if I'll enjoy the blogging experience but I'm giving it a shot.
For the next two weeks before I depart the blog will likely change frequently as I try out new styles and features of this website. More to come soon.
