Well, so far none of my friends have managed to steal or hide my passport, so it looks like I'll be heading to Sweden tomorrow!
My mom's suggestion to wear my winter boots and jacket so save suitcase space was met with laughter, and I am now full of delicious Chinese food and mostly all packed.
After an amazing send-off party this weekend and a plethora of over generosity from family and friends, I have said most of my goodbyes with quite a few tears. I think I'll manage with only two more cries before I go (Emma and parents) but the excitement is really starting to kick sadness's ass!
This time tomorrow I'll be on a plane (boo planes) heading to Frankfurt, and then should arrive in Gothenburg by 10:20 Goth time (I think 5 am our time). I must say goodbye to my cell phone, and a few other comforts.(my amazing comforter being one)
But, as my aunt Marie's card said. . . .
"Life is a daring adventure,
or nothing."
See you half the world away!
Dear any friends reading this (and fam), I love you, and will miss you lots!
