Weather Be Damned

Today is the big day. Nine people from two different locations will be taking off for the other side of the pond. At the Robinson house, it is currently 6:20 am and four out of the five of us are awake in an attempt to start moving our internal clocks to GMT. I was awake at 5:00am and up at 5:30. Payton joined me briefly but is now asleep on the couch. Nancy was up around 6am which is impressive as was really 3am Hawaii time. Dan is stirring. Darren is still sound asleep, but he's also the most resilient when it comes to sleep and energy so I'm not at all worried about him.

The weather report is pretty sketchy for London over the next week and I've starting thinking about how we might be able to switch our itinerary around to minimize the impact of the forecasted thunderstorms. As I'm doing so, I've run across this post from Soulseeds.com called "Taking Your Own Sunshine". It's funny how the universe gives you what you need when you need it:

"If you can change things, do. If you can’t, choose who you’re going to be."

So with sunshine in our hearts, we head out this afternoon for the trip of a lifetime; nine people discovering new lands and strengthening bonds that will last lifetimes.
