(Thanks to the help of 1 trolley, 1 subway train, 1 shuttle bus, 1 airplane, 1 people mover, 1 coach bus, and 2 cars)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Today, our first and only priority was to re-assemble our bikes -- if there were any damage in shipping (or if we forgot to include a part or two), we wanted to make sure we took care of that immediately.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Just a quick sanity check to see if all of our stuff will really fit into our bags.  This was a success.&lt;/p&gt;

This post serves as an overview of what we're planning, and as a test of the blogging setup we plan to use to share our progress as we go.  We'll hopefully be posting lots of pictures along the way (and some words, too).&lt;/p&gt;
