This is it!!!

My bags are packed, I have my ticket and passport, and I've said my goodbyes. This is really happening. This day has been crazy, these past few months have been crazy. In many ways I had the hardest months of my life at the end on 2010. There were a lot of downs that seemed to over-shadow the ups. But through it all I knew I was leaving the country, and I looked forward to that whenever things got bad. And now I'm really leaving!
I am going to miss everyone here. The friends I've had for years and the ones I've gotten close to just recently. I am going to miss my family, and every aspect of being around them all the time. Thinking about this just makes me tear up. My family has been so helpful through everything, from making the decision to take a year off, to getting things packed and ready to go, they have done more than I could have asked for. I am truly blessed.
I also want to say another "thank you" to everyone who has donated towards this trip. I can leave with the peace of mind that my five months will be taken care of. I could not believe how everything came together so well, and I could have done it without having such generous people in my life.
My next post will be from Thailand.
Catch you on the flip side.
