Only a Few Hours Left Here

The next few hours are the last that I will be spending in Green Bay Wisconsin for about the next three weeks. As happy as I am to be getting away from this place for the third summer in a row, this one will be the most memorable. As much as I have gotten myself ready to leave there is still a part of me that is starting to worry even more.

Like the last two summers I will not be only going to a different state. This year I am going to a different state in a different country. I am extra excited to be finally be taking what some would say a "real" trip. Let alone that this is going to be only the second vacation in my life it will be the first that I will ever remember. It has been a long 16 1/2 years that I have been waiting to take another vacation that I will be able to tell others about and even my own children someday. But as happy as I am I am just as scared. Because not only is it going to be only my third time ever flying but I is my first long flight. It is a 15 and a half hour flight and I will even be losing a day because of it. But to go along with that I am going to be going by myself. Although I know the people that I am staying with and I am flying there with one of them, it is still not the same as when you go with close family or friends.

So it is that time that I need to get some sleep for the drive down to Milwaukee in the morning.

P.S.

     Don't worry throughout my trip I will try to keep up with yous and tell you about what I have all done and how things are going.

Eight Days

As the days just seem to be flying by I am left with my only day off of work before we leave town to do my packing, that I have not even started. Even though it is not hard something about it makes me just do everything in my power to avoid it. I guess even after high school procrastinating will always be my best friend.

As I think of all the wonderful things that I will get to see and do, and even just the experience itself my anxiety has already started to kick in big time even with having eight days left before we fly out. I know that everything will be just fine and everything and one will be here when I get back but the meer thought of being gone for these two weeks almost 8,000 miles away is the part that is getting me.

So as much as I have been trying to avoid packing I know I have to and until then I will be off here.
