9 days and counting

This is really happening. I have been planning this trip for the last 8 months-searching for the best program, fretting over costs, and scrimping and saving my vacation time. I am not sure what to expect from this trip, but I hope to travel with an open mind and massive amounts of patience (for myself and for a country that doesn't operate anything like the US). Please bear with me as I set up this blog. I have a feeling this will contain a lot of trials and error especially when it comes to posting photos. I would love to hear your feedback and feel free to make suggestions!
