| Brad and Jen's journal entry for: July 30, 2001 |
| Hello everyone, The trip is finally starting. Today, July 30, 2001, we handed in our apartment keys and are officially homeless. We took one last load to the storage locker, popped the champagne cork, took a sip, and headed out. Total miles traveled, 25, to Crown Point. Not the most exotic local, however we thought it would be nice to spend the night with Jen's parents. Tommorrow we are off to Red Wing for the big wedding celebration. Brad's brother Todd is getting married and it is going to be beautiful. Today we are going to do some work on the web page. Check it out if you haven't yet at: http://www.geocities.com/jbmcd1 We have added some cool web links that helped us plan for the trip. If you want to be included in future e-mails, send us an email with "newsletter" in the subject and we will add you to the file. You can reach us at: [email protected] Check out this cool web page: Lisa and Joel's Excellent Adventure. http://www.geocities.com/aroundtheearth They are friends of my brother Jeff and are close to completing a very extensive globe trotting tour. They have lots of good info and pictures! It is amazing to start the adventure. We have been planning this for nearly a year. It is one thing to have an idea and another to put it in motion. Many people have urged us to follow our dreams....you know who you are...even when the doubts crept up. We are going to miss everyone emensely. You will be held close in our hearts and thoughts. We can not wait to share with you what we experience! Peace, Brad and Jennifer |
