So I'm just getting out of bed this fine Monday morning, when I get a phone call. I was informed that there's a minor change - I'm actually leaving tonight!!! After weeks and weeks of preparing to leave tomorrow night, we found out that we had been reading the plane tickets wrong. Sooooo, after recovering from my shock, I'm turnin it up a gear and taking in my last day in LA. In a way, it's a lot more fun this way (plus my mom doesn't have time to freak out). The first of many surprises, I'm sure.

I couldn’t be more excited for you! I’m gonna miss you like crazy but I can’t wait to read your book (forgot to get you a copy of my uncle’s book but when you get back, you can base your book on his)!!! Please come back in one piece and come back soon!! I know it will cost a fortune but if you have a minute, give me a call from somewhere cool, just to say hello…you know i’m worth it!
I love you Charlie Melvoin!!!!

August 15th, 2005 at 6:36 pmI enjoyed the photos. You must have your mothers eye. Wat a great adventure and how wonderful to have such a great visual diary at the end of your trip. Enjoy. I also really enjoyed the quotes you had at the top of your site about the wonders of travel. George visited your site and was telling us how you were going all over the world.
