The Beginning

About to embark on a trek halfway around the world, I feel obligated to write something poetic. Or insightful. or at least important. Yet I have next to nothing. I've wrapped up my life in Philly (thank zeus) and I leave for New Zealand tomorrow. The trip is sure to create enough stories for the next few years - travelling for three weeks in NZ with my father, followed with my attempt at learning to farm organically, then a brief stint in Sydney (anyone, anyone? Gen, you out there?) and closing out the international travels with the lovely Benny K in Korea. I hope that I have packed adequately, although I know that is impossible (especially since I can't bring the cat! - yes, I am that person). More infotainment will follow, I'm sure (barring any unforseen circumstances, such as death).
