I've been reading past RD blogs and trying to learn as much about the experience as I can. A common theme I've read in others' blogs is the nervousness of travel in general.

Congratulations, Brooker, on your next new adventure! You would have thought that I would have been more excited for you when you told me the news, but you are still my baby and, after all the trips that you have made around the world, it still makes me nervous....I'll adjust.

I LOVE YA!
Mom
