Good-Bye

Here it is!

By the time many of you read this I will already be in Ireland, or on a plan to Ireland. I leave January 15th at 7:00 AM Pacific time.

As I sit here calmly writing this e-mail, sipping at my licorice tea I realize that I am barely ready to leave on this trip. Not mentally physically or emotionally. But I too realize that there is absolutely no way you can be totally ready for something so epic. Just that thought of almost guaranteed un-preparedness gives me a sense of relief. For if I'm not ready after over a year of formulating then who can be ready?

In the following months I will have several adventures and misadventures, both will produce equally entertaining stories, and I do not want any of you to worry in the least bit. I know out of everyone I am e-mailing right now there are family members, and almost complete strangers, but, you all know me, and have at least a vague Idea of who I am. Some of you I have known for longer then others, all of you I hope to know forever. As I travel I hope to hear from all of you, and I truly hope to send you each a more personal letter later, just you wait!

The hours of the count down roll by as I make final preparations so I must be off with myself for now, I'm looking forward to hearing from you, and above all things, don't worry.

With Love and Farewell,

=Logan, U.S.A.
