Twas the night before my insane mid life trek

I am sitting in my father in-law's house with my wife and daughter the night before I fly to the other side of the world. I would like to say that I am studying maps and checking my equipment as most hardened world adventurers would do but that would be a lie. I am watching my daughters' first season of Glee DVD collection. Instead of checking weather alerts in the South Island, I am listening to show tunes wrapped in a snuggie. I am ready for my adventure to begin.
