up, up and away

so after a few years of dreaming, six months of anticipation and preparation, 14 days of unemployment and 7 days of hard physical labor - we're on our way!

Our last couple days have been filled with cleaning, packing, moving and lots of caffeine. Surprisingly we managed to pack our backpacks in one day and each only weighs about 25 lbs. Most of the weight is our travel "pharmacy". We probably have enough pills between us to eradicate malaria from a small country. good job blue cross blue shield!


we made it to NYC and we're about to make our way to the airport. So instead of running through manhattan with our backpacks, we should head out. Ari said the blog is less important than making our flight.

see you on the flip side...(i'm sure someone awesome said that)

at the airport - we made it! with over an hour and a half to spare.
so i bought ari these shorts for his birthday last year. i thought they were great. they have all these pockets and ties that seem perfect for traveling and preventing pickpockets. apparently they are not security TSA friendly.
ari just got strip searched.

  2. after all the back and forth on the shorts.. to end in being strip searched! I'd say you're off to a good start.

    can't wait to read about the shenanigans that will occur in Asia!

  3. I hope Ari was wearing his Hanukkah thong...I'm pretty sure he was.

  4. I don't think he was strip searched because of the shorts. He just has that shady look about him ;)
