And away we go...

Howdy all,

With any close scrutiny of my blog, you would soon realize that I have been less than successful at blogging while in the US...even with two jobs that involved I sitting at the computer for long spans of time...so, I don't know that I will be much better while traveling....but, I will try. May this be the start to my vain attempt to keep folks informed while gallivanting abroad.

For all who are not privy to my undertaking...Monday (May 29th) I leave for a two-month backpacking trip through Europe. It's been in the works for about two years...ever since Dave and I went the first time and fell in love with the notion of traveling without much of an itinerary... So....the plan is to hit around 10 countries in two months (we return August 1st). We will be approximately visiting...Ireland, France, Netherlands, Belgium, Sweden, Norway, Germany, Greece, Italy, and Spain....although, we may fall in love with a country and stay longer....or dislike one and just pass through...the beauty is in the lack of planning.....we hope. I couldn't find any quality travelmates, so I gathered up some scrubs. David LaSuer and Kevin Haas will have my back for the entirety of the trip, while Cory Vought will be joining us the first month (Ireland through Norway approximately). With our powers combined, we are.....well...still a ragtag bunch...but....as dave's blog says....four friends getting in way over their heads...and loving it. Dave's blog is: www.losthoosier.blogspot.com (a fitting title....).

I apologize to those who did not get a proper goodbye....forgive me...and save some extra fervor for a "welcome back". So....feel free to communicate with me via comments to my posts....or e-mail (www.joshuadexter@gmail.com). I'll do my best to check when I can....but....I'll admit it won't be my first priority...although, I'm unsure what that first priority is.....fun? Finding the Holy Grail? Finding Waldo? Finding seems to be a theme....finding something I guess.....off to Europe to find something. So....cheers to that. Love ya'll and see ya in two months.

Bon Voyage,
Josh
