As I write this there are less than 24 hours until we leave for Costa Rica. The excitement is building but so are my nerves. I’ve had the bulk of my stuff packed for about a week now, but now I have to throw in the last-minute things like my phone charger and the laptop that I’m typing this on. As someone else mentioned, I too have a million lists. I’m so afraid that I’ll forget something (even though we’re only going for about two weeks). I’ve even woken up in the middle of the night to add another thing to my list! There’s no such thing as being over-prepared.

My suitcase is packed, I have to finish packing my carry on now, and after having car troubles this morning, I am more than ready to get to the tropical oasis of Costa Rica (even if it is for school). Escribo de nuevo cuando estoy en Costa Rica!
