Finally, the day has arrived! We're headed out the door, finishing the final touches and making the journey. I'll post photos later tonight of the first day on the road.

I think Lyle Lovett said it best in his song - "Goodbye to Carolina" (except the part about coming back when someone dies... I hope that doesn't happen.)

"Head West young man while you still can, before your old and grey/ Go West and make a better life than you could if you stayed / So tell your family and tell your friends good-bye /Say you'll write them and keep them on your mind / And say you'll see them whenever someone dies

And say good-bye to Carolina"
