Preparations!

The year of 2010 thus far has been a whirlwind of traveling, fun, goodbyes and preparations for my biggest trip of the year. Now the count is down to a little less than 3 weeks before 'the big day'!!! Reality is finally sinking in that I'm leaving...you know, that knot in your stomach that's caused by the fear of leaving everything you're comfortable with and everyone you care about, mingled with the excitement of a new life-changing adventure and new friends. I'm looking forward to keeping this blog up-to-date with my experiences!!!
