I'm so excited that you're going to have this TR up and running so I can get those background stories behind all the Twitter and Instagram updates! I think it's a brilliant idea to forego replying to comments. It really does take up a ton of time, and I'd rather you spend that 15-60 mins writing updates about all of your adventures! I'm so happy for you that the people you love will be making visits to see you while you're away. It'll be nice that they're coming a little bit later on in your DCP so that you can spend this time adjusting to your new life before sharing all the new things you've learned with them! I have to say though that I'm already sad in anticipation of the update about saying goodbye to your mom!
