Home from our family reunion today. One last night at home! - need to be fully rested up for a big day tomorrow. Leave home tomorrow at 3PM to Toronto, and fly out at 1:30 AM. Stop over in Alaska for refueling, and then continue our flight. 20 hour flight ... How best to describe this? Anxious. Excited. Nervous. Stokeddd

And so it begins...
Hello everyone - Friends, family, sponsors!
Welcome to my 'China and Malaysia' blog! If you are reading this, I have invited you to share in my experience while I make my trip to the other side of the world - or you have stumbled upon it. Regardless, thanks for stopping in. I am so grateful for having so many people - friends and family - that believe in me. I cannot thank you enough.
Blogging is totally new to me and I am really excited to try it. As a disclaimer, my posts are going to be informal and fun. I will upload pictures, links, etc, whenever I am able to access the internet to keep everyone well up-to-date on my journeys.
Also, while I am in mainland China, I have been told I will not be able to access this (or facebook, or any other social networking sites) unless I am at a US or Canadian embassy. The 'Great Chinese Firewall' will forbid me from accessing this site.
Today is Friday night. I feel prepared - totally prepared. Confident. Today I deposited the remainder of the sponsorship money, waved my wonderful girlfriend Ada goodbye, shaved my hair off, and read a million emails. Tomorrow I pack my bags...
