Hey everyone, Pearce here. Up to this point I have had little to do with the blog and it has been the genius and determination of my wife. As I get the last items packed and the last minute plans arranged I have to realize that this is happening. I have been so busy for so long I have not had the time to process all that this trip will mean. We are leaving for the far East for three months. My wife is not only the experienced traveller but also the experienced international resident because of her two-year stint in Mongolia. She lived in the “jenkin” way, getting water from the river and burning a coal fire in her tent most nights. She is as hardcore as intimidated as I can be. So you should get two different takes on how things are proceeding.
I wanted to use this post as a test of some of the new toys we got for the trip (HD camcorder, digital camera, and netbook). And I am frantically going through my checklist so this is going to be short.
The above picture is from my graduation ceremony to commemorate my successful completion of neurology residency at Emory. I am giving a toast to all my classmates who graduated with me and who suffered with me. It was an emotional and surprising night. I snuck in a bottle of 12-year-old Macallan Scotch Whiskey and shared it with my dad.
How Allyson feels about impromptu filming.
Our first video post… successful?
Back to packing!
