i'm leaving in four days.
i'm leaving the country for six others in four days.
i can't even explain what i'm freaking out about...because i'm totally excited...but still, i'm diffinately experiencing a little freak out moment.
...
I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE HECK I'M DOING!!! i mean, duh, i'm taking a trip to europe for 6 weeks.
but on the other hand...I'M TAKING A TRIP TO EUROPE FOR 6 WEEKS!!!
i don't even have the first clue how to go about the following:
-make an international phone call
-what exactly goes on in this 'customs' everybody speaks of. (actually, no, i know what goes on...they unpack my precision packed pack and scatter it over a table. they take 2 hours going through all of my stuff...they leave me 10 minutes to somehow shove all of my crap back in the pack that it took me an hour to pack and get to my next flight...)
-find my way around simple, small towns
-take a bus or a taxi. (never really had the need...public transport is pretty much a complete mystery to me...good thing that i planned an entire trip full of it...)
-wear a money belt. (ok...yeah, i know how to wear a money belt...but my issue is, how do i wear it with style?? lol...it seems to me that i have a lot of 'important documents' that can't be floating around loose in a pack. so they are all shoved in a little fanny pack down my pants?? it's just an odd idea to me...)
this is just the tip of my ignorance iceberg. in all reality, i'm a complete travel idiot. hence the freak out.
don't get me wrong, this is one of the most happy freak out's i've ever had. i'm probably more excited right now than i've ever been in my life...but i'm still deffinately freaking out. lol
until now i've just had blinding excitement and anticipation.
but now...i'm no longer blinded by my excitement...i'm overwhelemd by it. lol
i feel pretty ok about it though...hannahs' freaking out too. i'm in good company...haha.
all i can say is i pity the poor fool that gets stuck by the two of us (two girls, friends since kindergarten...haven't seen each other in a year...taking a trip they've been planning since they were 14...and totally freaked out, in a good way, about the whole scenario) on the flight from toronto to london.
i pity the poor fool.
lol

You are going to do great
When people travel for the first time they are not supposed to know these things. It is what makes your travels an adventure and less of a relaxing 3 weeks on the beach.
You are going to be doing amazing, and you will have Hannah with you so at the same time, you will have two amazingly smarts heads.
And thank god you don't look very American, it will make things easier. ^_^
Good luck, you are going to do great!
all I have to say is "I'M SO JEALOUS!!!!"
there, that's it.
SO not fair. :)
I have a feeling you'll pull it off so well you won't know what came over you. You're so cultured and now you have chance to show that off :)
Think of me... think of me fondly wheennnn weve said GOOOOOODByyyyeeeEEE!! Remember me.... once in a while, please promise me YOOOULLL tryyyY! I cant believe your flight leaves in 8 hours. Im so excited for you. Im feeling a part of that overwhelming - nervousness and excitement as well. As I will be with you in spirit. (pshh).
God isn't just here at home, remember that! I love you! And try and have fun, okay????
