I'm almost ready to leave on my trip!  My bag is packed, I have been adequately vaccinated, and I have a pretty good idea of my travel plans.  So, first a visit home to Texas, and then I'll leave on March 26 on a 24-hour flight (including layovers) to La Paz, Bolivia!

T minus four days and counting!

There's only a few more days until I leave for Spain! I'm more than a little nervous, but I'm also just as excited. I'm already almost packed, and I just have a few more details to work out before I leave.

I am really going to miss all you people back home, so I have set up this blog to help us stay in touch. I'll post every few days about my adventures (I'll try to keep it short and sweet) and I'll add some pictures so you guys can see what I'm up to.

Four more days! Yikes!
