Excitement

Hullo, I'm typing this from a table in the portland airport with pleasant piano music in the background (Don't you love this airport?) and we are leaving this place in about an hour. we've packed all our liquids into plastic bags and put our laptops and videocameras in seperate trays, and we're leaving quite soon here. Dad is not even clolse to as excited as me, mostly because I'm thinking about Cairo and he's thinking about 10 hour long flights. Here's hoping we don't make a crash landing in the Columbia river!
I'd also like to put in a quick note here thanking Ann from down the hill for that fantastic little eco-friendly notebook she gave me! By the time I get back it will be chock full of writing and sketches. I'l type some more once our travel day is over: tommorow when we're half way around the world.
