December 26, 2004

This morning we awoke, washed up and headed to Whole Foods for some breakfast and to purchase our groceries for the trip. We then headed to pick up our rental truck and then home to load our boxes, sweep the flat clean and head out.

We were out of Seattle around 5. Loaded in the front cabin was Chris at the wheel, the Grace the cat in the middle in her carrier, I in the passenger seat and Badass the fish on the top of the dash, leading the way.

A good-bye was said to the main bridges, roadways, favourite eating areas followed by the city then state. It's now 10:30 at night and we're in a little hotel in Oregon - the boy, the cat, the fish and I - and ready to eat a little snack and head off to repeat all over again tommorow.

There's a bit of fear mixed with the excitement in what we're doing. We have no home to go to, no job to start, no security. Just a dream and a lot of will. If there's one thing I've learned it's that anything is possible if only you try.

And we try.
