Well, my planned date of departure has come and gone due to work issues so it looks like a slight delay is in order. Good thing I'm flexible. Like Nadia Komenich flexible.
Also Mother Nature, in her infinite wisdom, has decided to throw me a curve ball. In the form of a rare ice storm. Now, I've been through some miserable situations on the XR but riding on 1/4" of ice is not exactly something I'm prepared to do. Come on global warming!
Current date of departure: Friday, Jan 19th, 2007.
T-minus 2 days and counting.
