Countdown Begins

I can't believe the time is almost here, this journey that I have been anticipating and planning is upon me.  Writing this from my couch, the last piece of furniture left in my apartment, and thinking about what awaits me across the ocean.  Right now it is a little overwhelming but also freeing, selling and giving away most of my possessions.  Things that I have held onto for years are now gone, but what awaits me in memories and experiences will replace any feelings of loss over "things", hopefully.  It is also hard to imaging living somewhere that I have only visited as a tourist, how will life be exactly.  I hope you will stick with me on this journey, I will try and relay news and happenings, and new experiences as an American in Berlin.
