What advice would you have for those of us who lived their life in the RDBMS world (Oracle/PostgreSQL etc.) and are now trying to learn and work in the nosql paradigm?

This is the situation I'm in as I've had to work with MongoDB over the past couple years after being an Oracle guy for almost 2 decades. It's frankly mind boggling to suddenly work in a world where fundamental concepts like table joins, constraints etc. don't exist and this seems like a great opportunity to get some insight!

Will you somehow update where you are regularly during your trip? I live along your route in a rural BC town so it would be cool to give you a high five on your way.

Also, I wish you luck climbing the Coquihalla and Rogers Pass, those will not be fun days...
