Our trip hasn't technically started since we are still in the US and in Boston but we aren't really living here either. Tonight is our last night in the apartment we've been living in for the last 3 years but it's empty and echoing and we are sleeping on an air mattress. I still have one more week of work but I will be living on a friends futon and out of my backpack. It is a strange extended transition time.

Tonight Andy and I went to Harvard square to eat Indian food and find free wifi. For the last hour we have been sitting in a Starbucks, drinking coffee and surfing the Internet. It is the beginning of many days spent in coffee shops surfing the Internet. The couple next to us isn't even speak English.

I am so excited and sad and terrified all at once and I don't think it's going to stop until November.
