getting ready

Julie and I are madly preparing for our trip. It has been an unusually busy year for both of us. In addition to planning our wedding this summer, we planned a ski retreat/fundraiser for Young Life, had 3 wedding receptions, moved Julie in after 6 years in her apt in Noe Valley, helped my brother prepare for and build his art project at Burning Man, get our house ready for sale, and move out!

I'm barely remembering to do the standard "move" stuff with the busyness at work going on. Luckily other people are remembering and reminding me.

Being that we're both consultants, we have planned all our travel on a spreadsheet! But it's great, now that internet cafes are everywhere we can have instant access to our spreadsheet. I've also remembered to put pertinent data in some Google documents so I have quick access to them in case I lose the papers.

And I almost have all my photo gear! Just received a new Nikkor 18-55 DX lens in the mail last week and waiting for the card reader to show up so I can download directly into my iPod or an internet cafe's computer. I have a neoprene camera cover to keep my D100 safe from bumpy rides too! :) However, I am thinking about sacrificing my external flash (SB-50) and trying to make do with the built-in one; hoping I won't be making too many nighttime shots.
