Almost time!

Hey everyone,

It's the 14th, and I leave on the 21st for Nassau with my mom. She's coming down to see me off, which is really nice because I'll probably be completely overwhelmed on the first day while I'm trying to move in and get organized, and now I have a little moral support.

I've finished all my paperwork: my passport, visas, medications, vaccines and credit hours are all in check, so hopefully the hard part of preparation is over. Now I have to focus on packing 3 1/2 months worth of my life into two suitcases, which means I have to decide on one pair of flip-flops. And no, Dylan, I am not wearing dirty socks on my trip, so I'll have to make space for lots of socks, too.

Unfortunately, I didn't get the trip to Cambodia that I wanted because too many people beat me to the punch. But I did manage to sign up for a rainforest hike in Puerto Rico and a four-day safari in South Africa so far, and I'm sure more big opportunities for indy travel will arise while I'm on the ship. If anyone has any recommendations for sites I should check out, please let me know.

Keep checking back. By the time I'm on board, I'm sure I'll have enough exciting news to regularly update.

Seven days!

Xoxo,

Elisabeth
