Dis..connected

So, we're in the middle of Nebraska right now and praising the fact that we finally have wireless access after a full 2 days without it...pretty sad really to think that we'd feel so lost without our connectivity. But, I think we're feeling it so obviously from leaving the comforts of home and friends...As we drive further west, we're so much more aware of how trully unfamiliar yet familiar things are. Yes, we're 1500 miles away so far (if that), but we finally stepped away from the roads and the buildings and people we know. We've stepped away from those things and yet...we still have the same stores and access to things like the internet...It's just so very different. As we've had some time in the car to be quiet and still there (though moving so quickly)...I realize how much more time I need to absorb all that's happening around us. I mean, we're really leaving! Really! I wonder how long it will be, before I really break down and just ball my eyes out...
