The trip officially begins on Monday—that means some of us have to start packing soon. If you’re here for the first time, check out our interactive itinerary to see what’s in store for us the next month. We’ll start posting updates and photos as soon as we get somewhere interesting.

If you’re reading this, you probably know either Jennifer, Katelyn, Greg, or Nick, but in case you don’t know all four, here’s a very, very brief synopsis:

– Jennifer and Katelyn work together at CIC at the Michigan Union.
– Greg is Katelyn’s boyfriend and part-time shadow.
– Nick is Greg’s brother; they’ve known each other since June 2, 1988.

And there you have it.
