One Month

In exactly one month from today I will be setting sail on my journey around the world. I can't even begin to describe what it feels like right now. I have all my shots and vaccinations, my visas have arrived, classes are registered, and pre-sale trips sent in, but I still don't feel nearly as ready as I should be. I haven't even thought about what I need to bring in the 2 suitcases I'm allowed for 3 1/2 months at sea. I feel like this last month of summer and being at home will fly by and I will be heading out to Halifax before I know it. As nervous as I am, I'm still very excited for what is about to come. I'm traveling to places that I could have only ever dreamed of seeing and all the while getting college credit! I'm so ready for this trip to be here but I better figure out what I'm bringing with me first! I guess I'm going to start making my list now. I'll report back soon.
