Homecoming

So I have begun my final trek on this longish journey of mine. Soon I will be in Portland then in Seattle then in Bellingham and then off north through the chilly Pacific Ocean. Nothing can be better than knowing that all of you are up there and I can't wait to see and hug each and everyone of you. I just need to stock up and books now so that I don't run out of things to do on the boat which I probably will anyways but I imagine that there has to be a bunch of really cool people and I just need to find them. I imagine that most of them will be in the beer garden area. Usally thats how it works and if all else fails I will just make friends with the boat crew and hang out with them.
