TheTrip By Numers

I don't know how many people are still reading this after almost eight weeks, we hope many but we expect the crowd to be dwindling significantly.  Please encourage everyone you know to read these beautiful posts Kerri has been thoughtfully writing.   As Kerri continues to do the lion's share of the work with regards to blogging, I though I would include a few other bits of information that has little to do with our daily adventures, but more on the numbers side of the trip.  Also, a few tidbits of insight.
