Ready for launch

Getting ready for the next adventure featuring sea turtles in Sri Lanka, a mere 12 time zones away from Seattle. First stop is London for an afternoon, 2 weeks in Sri Lanka with turtles, heat and spicy food, then off to Amman, a float in the Dead Sea, and 2 days in Jerusalem before heading home. Just checked in to my first flight, leaving in less than 24 hours. I'm afraid the anticipation will prevent much sleep tonight!
