This is my very first post...the innaugural post...if you will. Anyone have a bottle of champagne that we can break across the keyboard?
I'm excited to use this technology as a tool to share some of the powerful stories and images that I come across in my travels. Thanks to Cory for setting this all up!

Cool blog! I can't wait to hear stories from your travels!
Wow, am I impressed with this technological way to hear about Kathy's trip. I'll stay tuned.
Hmmm it's not as good as our morning phone conversations, but I guess it will have to do!
Kathy's imprint on my life has been huge. Now, I know that I have even more reasons to follow her star to technological savvydom.
Very impressive!! Both the blog and the trip!:) Can't wait to read more!
Is it okay if we drink the champaigne first before we break the bottle? Hope your plane got off today in between the storms.
Can hardly wait to hear the stories. You beat me back by 2 days.
