It begins

This is it, the day has finally arrived and we will be on our way soon.  Flights leave Denver today at noon and we’ll be in Mendoza tomorrow around 2:30pm Denver time.  Mendoza is four (4) hours ahead of Denver, so keep that in mind when checking in on our progress.  We might be already moving by the time you wake up and start following along.

Still so hard to believe it is here; a lifetime dream built from the foundation of anticipation over the last 240 days.  Too many friends and family to list here in gratitude for their support, knowledge and time as we bounced along over these eight months.  So a blanket Gracias goes out to all of you; you know who you are.

Keep checking back as we’ll keep the updates going as long as we have Internet access, which should be for a while.  Once on the mountain all bets are off.  I hope you have an enjoyable time reading and following along and that the tracking gps works as advertised.  If not, we’ll have plenty of stories and goodies to share with you upon our return.

I leave you with a slogan from my group of climbing brutes which I think is fitting here; I won’t translate for now, but merely allow you to enjoy it in all its latin glory:

“Audentis resonant per me loca muta triumpho”

See you all on the other side and next year!

Cheers and Namaste!
