I've left my life in the Blue Ridge Mountains of the Old North State to take on
an endeavor of academics and adventure in Spain and beyond.

It's Officially Official
I feel it is appropriate that my first post be to announce that I have officially purchased my flight to Sevilla, Spain for January 18th, 2012, I'll be returning June 14th.
That is 147 days of travel outside of the United States, this will mark the longest time period and the furthest that I've ever been away from home.
As an old blogger who knows the importance of getting comments, i'm happy to be the first.
That's an awful long time to be gone, but damn... You are going to have so much fun and return with a perspective that only be achieved when you step away from the familiar and comfortable.
I'm looking forward to your posts over the coming months and having you home this weekend.
Officially "following" this blog, much like I'm following you across the pond. Technically I go first, but it's the thought that counts, not so much the plane ticket. Can't wait to see your cute face on the other side of the pond. In the mean time, I'm going to go back to the room and expect to see that face on a pillow. Asleep. As I should be.
Josie-Just talked w/ your dad and received some instructions on using your blog. I am not very PC literate, but maybe enough so that we can communicate. Dot and I want to wish you the very best as you undertake your ventures abroad. We love you very much, as we do all of our grandchildren. You will be missed by those who love you, as, I'm sure, you will miss them. One thing for sure, if your presence is missed, that is a sure sign you are loved. Take care of your self and you go girl! Papa and Dot
