The Preparation

It has been months in the preparation stages and now the journey begins. All the hotels are booked, the contacts have been made, and the itinerary has been set. I have started to make contact with people at various sites. It is not as easy as I thought since it is vacation time, and shifts for employees are changing daily. Most people are kind and helpful though; offering suggestions and assuring me there will be people available to speak with when I arrive.
