(skalholt! where we'll be living!)

So it's finally started to seep in, I'm going to be in a foreign country this time tomorrow. Am I nervous? yes. Am I excited? Hell to the yaaa! It's weird, I suppose the feeling would be kind of like the night before Christmas, you know something awesome is waiting in the morning but you're not quite sure what it is but you know it should be good. I have a combination of mixed apprehension and anxiousness. Mostly I'm concerned with not being late to the airport and meeting up with my group without getting too stressed about plane things. Seeing as I haven't been on an airplane before, I don't know certain protocols on the whole checking in process but the actual plane ride doesn't make me as nervous as checking in. I feel good that I packed everything I could think of and I'm around 41.5 lbs for the checked luggage and around 25 lbs for carry-on luggage.

In total I have packed : 12 short sleeve shirts, 5 long sleeved shirts, two thermals, one zip-up sweatshirt, one pull-over sweatshirt, one rain slicker, one pair of black flats, three pairs of jeans, one black pair of jeans, two sets of yoga pants (one long and one short), jogging shorts, two sweaters, two scarves, 12 pairs of underwear (not that you needed to know), 4 bras, 8 pairs of socks (6 cotton, 2 woolen), one pair of hiking shoes, and other sundry items. I now consider myself a master-packer :D

Anyways, this blog will be pretty short mostly because I still have a bit left to do in preparation. In short, I will be waking up tomorrow at 7:00 and double checking everything before leaving the house around 8:00 arriving at the airport before 9:30 so that I have plenty of time to check-in and meet up with the group before 9:30 when everyone needs to have met up by.

so wish me luck and keep me in your prayers (if you pray) and thoughts

thanks
-Anne.
