The journey begins July 5th! It has been a little over three months since I found out I was accepted into the program and I've been busy ever since getting things in order and preparing for this trip. I am so excited that the time is almost here - I've already finished packing! I'd like to say a special thanks to everyone who helped me in any way to be able to go on this trip - it truly is a wonderful opportunity and I appreciate all of the help and support! I hope you enjoy reading my blog; I'm not sure what to expect with Internet availability but my goal is to post at least once a week :)
