(Yesterday 9:31 am)
Reality has finally set in that I'm going to Peru, now that I am sitting here in RDU looking outside at the plane I will board shortly. Preparing for a 6-month adventure doesn't feel quite real until the night before when you're cramming last minute things into bags and wondering if you really have everything you need. I wonder if you can be too prepared? Well either way I packed the works: clothes, shoes, enough toilitries for a small family, snacks, books, school supplies, medicine, games, coffee, tea, hot coco…hmm, maybe I did go a bit overboard! The nice thing is that much of it won't be coming back with me. Maybe I'll make friends by being the go-to for all the good snacks -- haha =)
To answer everyone's questions, yes I'm excited, nervous, anxious, ready…and all the other things I've been asked about. I can't really give much more feedback about how I feel until I get there. It's like I'm getting anxious just talking about being anxious! Once I get in and check it all out, I can't wait to share it with everyone. All of your prayers and support mean so much. It's nice to know you're being thought of on the other side of the world.
Well as they say in Español, "¡hasta luego!" Or until we meet again….via the online world at least ;)
