Welcome Jake, your going to have a great time. Just a little story though. Nothing ever goes as planned. I had a great friend that died several years ago and he struggled for years with diabitious. He gave me some advice that has always rung true. No matter what happens while on your trips just remember that "It's an Adventure" and when your done and home you will look back and see what you learned but more importantly you'll remember how much fun it was even when things go wrong.
He told me this while we motorcycled camped across this country and others. We traveled through hail, snow, heat, cold , winds and flash floods and through it all, "It was an adventure" and it still is! Enjoy the next step in your life. Got to go now I hear a golf course calling!!!!
