After returning from the airport, I took a nap and then went at my list...en force. I called to have my cell phone put on vacation mode, made bill paying arrangements, got AAA batteries for my computer mouse, did laundry, washed dishes, cleaned the kitchen, emptied garbage, and have typed a letter for a coworker to pick up a check (long story). Still a few things to do, but I am almost there. Yay! I can't even fully explain how excited I am for this trip. I'm not sure Caleb shares my excitement yet, as I think he is a bit nervous about going overseas for his first time to a place where they don't speak English very much (but some do). The fear of the unknown is familiar to me, as I was very nervous about my first overseas trip as well. I think that he is probably also nervous about leaving friends behind and going to a place where he doesn't really know anyone. However, everyone there is excited to meet him and to practice their English (as limited as it might be) with him. I'm sure it will be an eye-opening experience for him, but I also think he will have something cool to tell his friends when he comes back, and maybe some of them will want to go (and convince their parents to pay) when we go next time around.
Anyway, I am creating this blog to document the happenings and the pictures taken along the journey. I hope you will check in periodically and see what's going on. Feel free to comment as you see fit.
