44 days and counting

So I had this great idea to add a little counter on the right side of the page to show how many days until the trip is on. The coding is fairly simple: September 1st minus today's date. And then it showed forty-four days, and a few hairs on the back of my neck stood up.

My goodness, that's getting close.

Luckily Amy and I are pretty organized. We spent some time a month or two ago coming up with a list of tasks (things that needed to be done before we left) and we're done about a third of them, in progress with another half, leaving only... a fifth? To be done.

Of course, they're the biggest ones, like "move and store all worldly possessions." And "finalize itinerary". And "buy tickets". Seems to me those are the ones that probably will take the most work.

But, glass half-full: we still have forty-four days!
