Finishing Up

For the last few days, I've been finishing things up. As far as paperwork and flights and classes go, everything is set. Now I'm working on the more tangible things like buying travel items and getting everything together. Every new thing I buy makes me feel a little closer to finally going.

It still hasn't totally hit me yet, and I don't know if it will until I'm on the plane. The only time I really feel like I'm leaving is when I have to say goodbye to people that I know I won't see again for the next few months. I really hate saying bye to people, even if I'm not really even that close to. The people that I know provide me with a sense of familiarity that I know that I won't have when I'm on the other side of the world (at least for the first few weeks). I know that it is only a temporary goodbye, but I still hate doing it.

I promise that you can all expect more frequent updates as soon as I leave and my life gets a little more interesting. I can't wait to tell everyone about my trip.

Marc, I'm sure it will work out fine and you'll have a blast..Long flight though, be prepared. Look forward to reading your tales of the Outback!!
