Awesome. Good luck.
Nick, I am jealous and quite envious of you and your endeavor! I would've loved to do something like this. I hope you have a fab time out there! We will take care of your mom, don't worry, she will be fine - we keep her very busy here at home! Have a blast and keep us up to date and then come home and share it all with us! We love you; keep safe!

Good Luck Nick and be safe! Sounds like a great trip. I know you'll have a good time, but I think everyone will be worried whether your mother will survive. What about Shady? You building her a side-car? I can't wait to follow your journey! Take care and be careful!

(BTW-you'll have to bring Shady by to meet my dog sometime when you get back....guess I won't be able to cash in on you dog sitting for me until you get back ;)
Be careful and have fun!
