I generally don't count down. I usually plan and book two months in advance, and so it usually isn't a long wait before takeoff. Also, I think counting down makes it all feel longer, doesn't it?

Yes, the more I think about it, the longer away it feels. A quiet, self-imposed, somewhat relished torture!
Actually, it was last Summer that I realized I was in a position to make the trip happen toward late 2007. I began to lose sleep as a result. Eventually, I burnt myself out on the message boards of BootsnAll, daydreaming and planning, though it took a few months.

I try not to count down because time always seems to move much more slowly...

It's weird ... for me, I added a countdown to my own blog and the days are flying by. It's barely a year away now!

I think I'm going to my first game next Thursday - against New England Revolution. We had a bitter loss to them last year in the playoffs (on our home field). :(

Dave,
I'm excited for you taking this trip. I tried to do the same thing in Europe four years ago with a much tinier picture and a much less rosier financial picture. I only lasted four months before the money ran out - and its nice to see someone with a bit more forethought into their journey.
I love the countdown thing, though, it does help you stay motivated and on task to be as prepared as possible for the trip you're going to take.
Good luck on your journey!

Thanks Roger. I get you had some great times during those 4 months in Europe!

7 Months, well I'm looking at about 12 so at least it'll be easy to keep up with you until then.
