"Stop worrying about the potholes in the road and celebrate the journey."

--Fitzhugh Mullan

I know, it's 1:30am. But rather than sleep, I am trying to get on Greenwich Mean Time. Right now it is 8:30am in England. I am sitting next to my half-packed suitcase surrounded by various electronics that are plugged into the wall to charge. Among the electronics, an iPod, camera, cell phone and of course my laptop. I don't think I've ever traveled so heavy before! It is all in the hopes of being able to include others in the great opportunity I have been blessed with, by documenting my trip through this blog...

I am going to England on a business trip, but I hope to be able to take advantage of my time off to see Northern England and maybe some of Scotland.

Today is a travel day. My flight leaves SLC at 8:30am. I will fly to JFK then on to Charles deGaulle in Paris and end in Newcastle-upon-Tyne in Northern England. I will arrive on Saturday around 11:00am, if all goes well. Hopefully I can update my blog on Saturday night...
