The Countdown is on...21 days til liftoff!

Well, the time is nigh, and I'm glad. As exciting as this once in a lifetime trip to Australia is, I will be relieved when it gets underway. This has ben a lot of work! Not complaining, mind you, but there's been much to keep up with, such as training, paperwork & fundraising. This email was wonderful to receive:

One item that is notable is the presence of swine flu in Australia, and of course, elsewhere. Thankfully, the authorities say all is still a go, yet any prayers for the health and safety of the 180 athletes on Team USA, are appreciated!
