The first leg of my trip is domestic. I fly to Chicago to spend a week in that city in celebration of St Patty’s day. This portion has been planned for several months, since Cornelius and Shauna left Seattle late last year.

I’ll meet with them today and stay the week at Cornelius’ Sister’s flat in Wrigleyville. I haven’t seen either of them for several months and I expect to spend most of this week in a drunken haze. Joseph Arrives tomorrow, and will serve as my party tour guide for the week. I expect there is no preparing for this.

I don’t feel as if I am traveling internationally and this leaves me worrying about whether I should feel more unprepared for the Journey ahead. It’s also my first time traveling semi-solo. I feel as if I don’t yet know what I am missing for this trip. I’m also starting to think that is a normal part of traveling.
