Leaving on a jet plane...don't know when I'll be back again

Well, actually I'm driving and I know I'll finish on June 12th, but I am leaving. Heading out in the morning for the 1179 (?) or so mile hike to see the places I've never seen before. I've cried all day because I've never been this far from my family or for that period of time. I can barely breathe through my nose right now. I am excited also and just want the drive to end. I hate driving. I'm taking my computer with me so I'll be back on line in a few days. I've got to go straight to the board of nursing on Friday. Geez, some states are picky about you having one of their licenses before you work.
