Almost ready

Whatever is not done is not going to be done before we fly out tomorrow.  That's as close to preparedness as I can be and keep my emphasis on the more desirable enjoyment of the pre-trip partying with friends and family.
We left home last Friday after gathering with friends and hearing of their travels and sharing our travels and gorging on experiences.  Now we're in Denver and enjoying more of the same for what has become a splendid send-off.
Over the last 48 hours we have filled in the remaining gaps for lodging in a variety of hostels for the initial 30 days. The other reservations will have to be made later and we hope there is still room at the inn.
I'm slightly incredulous at what we have planned and I'm thoroughly ecstatic about the adventures that can't be planned and just happen.
Earlier today I found a Gastronomic tour in Coimbra, Portugal, that is a walking tour of local history mingled with multiple restaurants featuring local specialities.  How could it be better?
