Ready.

It's almost midnight.  I still have to take care of a few things before I go to bed, but I'm pretty much ready to get this show on the road.

Plan for tomorrow:
7:00 am - Wake up early to say good-bye to Mom and David.
8:00 am - Finish packing.
9:00 am - Head out (in the new Malibu!) with Dad.  Stop for coffee.
9:45 am - Detour: St. Olaf.  Prepare dorm room for February.
10:15 am - Continue heading north.
10:45 am - Pit stop at Barnes & Noble in Burnsville.  Lunch.
11:30 am - Drive to airport.
12:15 pm - Meet the crew near Delta check-in kiosks.
3:35 pm - FLY.

For those of you who may be inadequately informed: I leave for Paris tomorrow.  I'll be there until January 27th, when I will fly to Amsterdam to meet a group of wonderful souls from Trinity.  We'll continue on to Ethiopia, serving on a missions-type trip through Compassion International for nine days.  I get home on February 4th, and second semester classes start at St. Olaf on the 7th.

I'll let you know as soon as I arrive safely in Paris.  :)
