It's the final countdown

Today is Sunday.

I'm going to Canada Wednesday.

I'm boarding the ship Thursday.

I'M LEAVING FRIDAY.


I'm almost completely packed. I bought myself a new digital camera for the trip. I've got my foreign currency ordered and I'll pick it up Tuesday. My passport should be back Tuesday. I have a short list of things I still need for the trip. This is REALLY happening. I can't even believe it.

People keep on asking "Are you excited?" and other variations of the question. The truth is, I am BEYOND excited. I am about to embark on a trip that is going to change who I am mentally and physically. It's going to give me an incredible insight into so many different cultures. It's going to teach me how to navigate a foreign city alone (Yes, I'm planning on spending one day completely alone in Viet Nam). It's going to change me in ways I know I cannot possibly begin to fathom, because I'm not there yet. 

But I'm close. And I'm excited, nervous, ready, unprepared, giddy, restless, thrilled, terrified, frugal, and the most ready I've ever been for anything in my life.

Cheers to adventures.
