All our bags are packed, we're ready to go...

...because we're leaving on a jet plane (in just a few hours!).

As most of you know, Joe and I are traveling "around the world" for the next month and we are so excited! It has been a completely crazy time leading up to our trip, including a whirlwind winter full of residency interviews and musical theater productions for me, and overtime shifts and ultimate frisbee leagues for Joe. This last week has been particularly crazy as it was tech week for the Galens Smoker (an annual medical school musical production), with the last show ending just a few hours ago. But, we are finally packed and ready to go on our trip! (Sleep is for long plane rides anyways).

Now we would like to draw your attention to our fabulous packing skills. As you will notice in the picture below, we are taking 2 carry-on sized bags each. And that is it! Now, you all know that I am not what would be called a "light packer," therefore I am especially proud of the fact that there is actually leftover room in my bag! Which contains all my needs for a month. A whole month. Be amazed.



We are planning to keep this blog as a log of our travels and experiences during our month-long trip, and we hope that you enjoy following along as much as we enjoy experiencing these amazing places around the world. We will unveil the stops on our trip as we go, and post as often as we can.... so, talk to you soon!
