So......a little quick update!  I have arrived in Florida and got to walk along the beach watching the waves come in and the moon shining down last night.  It was wonderful.  I won't give all the details on my stop in Indy yet or the drive down--hopefully later though.

i wanted to let you know that while I am gone, I will not be able to update this often at all.  If you want to follow me around the world please visit my website at:  www.karistembel.theworldrace.org.  if you want to recieve automatic updates each time I post a blog, please go to the website and click on "KEEP UPDATEd" and enter your e-mail address.  LEAVE ME COMMENTS!!  I would love to hear from you throughout the year.  I will also be receiving e-mail at krazykari@comcast.net throughout the year.  Be patient, as I will not alwasy be able to respond right away.  THANKS for all your prayers--it means alot!!

I will try to update at least one more time on here before I leave the country.

I'm going to miss everyone!!!!
