AND SO IT BEGINS . . .

Sorry for the wacked-out layout, I'm at a sketchy internet terminal in Heathrow right now . . . two flights down and only two to go. Whoo! The pix you're seeing? Well, the first and last would be before and after shots of the shit I'm taking with me. Two big bags worth, both coming in at just under 50 lbs. each and thus saving me excess/overweight fees. I am shocked about that, I can say with all honesty, but still embarrassed that I need so much to see me through five months!

This other pix is my Dad and his mementos from past Drago trips. Ahh, Dad . . . I hope there is no mechanical trickery on THIS truck!


I've got a big layover, then another 9+ hours flight time to Bishkek via Almaty. God Almaty, will I be happy to actually get to that hotel at around 4:30AM tomorrow:-) Trip Intro meeting at 10AM, am hoping we don't leave for the Silk Route until next day so I have chance to check out Bishkek vs. just loading bags...
