I'm packed - accept for my toiletries - and I'll be heading west in the morning :) I have to pick up Lisa at 7am and we should arrive at my office by Noon. We're having a buffet lunch at the office and then I have meetings until 4:30. We're going to dinner with one of my sales reps and we'll meet two others from my office at 7am on Thursday to drive the rest of the way to Detroit. We have a five hour drive tomorrow and my GPS says Thursday we'll have about six hours. We will go via Canada as it's the quickest route so I'll wave to all of our Canadian friends when I cross the border :)

Hopefully I'll make it to opening ceremonies this year! After the closing ceremony on Sunday we're staying in Detroit and will drive back on Monday. I'm going to try to do it in one day - stopping off at my office to drop off Wendy and Kimberly - and then Lisa and I will continue home.

Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers. I'm excited but also a little anxious. I think I'm a little better prepared this year for 'blister care' for my feet so I'm hoping I'll be ok. Lisa and I are both fast walkers (she's also a chatterbox) so we're hoping to get each day finished in 5-6 hours. I will have my blackberry but can only turn in on when we are back at camp at night and I have no way to recharge the battery. I'll try to check in but can't make any promises :) I'll try to check in before I head out in the morning but I still have a few last minute things to do so I'm not sure if I'll have time!

Don't have too much fun without me :)

You ladies are so awesome. Thanks so much for the support. I'm settled into my hotel in Rochester, with my alarm set for 5am. I just read all of your posts to Lisa. To say that she is impressed by your comments, support, and friendship is an understatement. She was blown away by your comments! Thanks so much.

Keep those prayers coming - hugs to all of you.
