We fly out of Denver on January 14th, and will arrive in Singapore a day and a half later. For some reason the tickets had to be paper, and I have them right here beside me. How exciting! In a month we’ll be on our way to hot and humid beaches and jungles.

Right now I’m watching it snow, the tiny flakes blowing down on a good eight inches already there. I’ve seen three vehicles from the neighborhood drive by with skis on top. I guess everyone wants to skip Friday at work for the powder.

I’ve never been on a vacation where I escaped the cold winter to a warm beach. Will I like the sound of waves from inside our tent at night? I think I will. I sure hope we can camp on the beach as we make our way North.

It’s going to feel amazing to be back on the bike every day. It’s such a natural routine to get up, move your body, eat, move your body, then stop and rest each evening.
