Tomorrow We Start

We arrived in Savannah around noon today and got picked up from the airport by Debbie Farmer (a long time friend of Ken's aunt). Tomorrow is her birthday and she has agreed to pick us up from the hotel and drive us to our starting point on Tybee Island. If we continue to meet people as nice as her the entire trip, this is going to be way to easy. We just got settled into our hotel for the night. I know, a hotel on the first day? Durkin's brother Mike is driving down from N.C. and has offered to put us up in a hotel for the first two nights of the trip. We will officially begin our journey tomorrow at 10am. It has been a lot of mix emotions from everyone today. We are sad to say goodbye to everyone we love so much but are excited to get out on the road already. It's been a long 3 years. We spent the afternoon exploring historical downtown Savannah and looking for lunch. We stumbled upon Lenny's Sub Shop and were blown away. The friendly atmosphere and openness toward us was far from anything that we expected. Tomorrow, after we finish for the day, we are heading back for some free hats and another delicious meal with our new friends. What a feeling that for the first time in our entire lives, we have no idea what tomorrow will bring. There will be no one to answer to but ourselves.
