I can't wait to hear about the rest of your trip! Your report is excellent so far.
Your pre-trip was also great! Love your furry little kids. They sound a lot like ours. Only our Dory isn't quite as big as your Leo. He's got about 5 pounds on her.
And I loveLoveLOVE the picture of the cameras on the gorillapods! Who knew two inanimate objects could be so, well, animated.
Two more things before I actually get back to work (

):
Code - you are a truly wonderful photographer. I have hundreds of pics from all of my trips to the World and going through them and now, seeing yours, it's a fun trip down memory lane. I'd love to get a DSLR and learn a whole lot more about photography. Right now, I'm completely camara-less (stolen out of my car during an oil change

) and it's driving me crazy. I actually wandered over to this report after enjoying all of your pics on the 'Pic of the Day' board.
Lease - Congrats on the weight loss. I'm trudging along on that journey myself. And I have to say you look so much like a friend of mine who I haven't see in, easily, 10 years. I smile every time I see your picture.
Can't wait for more, but don't rush. I know how work can be. In my opinion we spend far too much time at work and too little time in the World, but somehow, I don't know that my boss would agree!
