3 days to go, 2 suitcases to pack...

Even though I haven't really started packing yet, I'm preparing myself to leave for Europe on Sunday. Every day people ask me if I'm ready to go, and I have to honestly answer, "not really." Today it dawned on me that I leave in about 3 days, and I will be gone for almost 3 months. I've never been that far from home for that long before, so it's a little intimidating.

I've been looking into things to do while I'm in London and Dublin, and I'm getting really excited for the experience. Looking at the neighborhoods, museums, cathedrals, castles, and other hot spots I can visit is making me anxious to get going, but I can't help but be a little nervous for the adventure that awaits me. I'm going to be thrown into different cities with very different cultures...relatively alone. I'm sure it's going to be amazing, but I'm not sure I'll ever really be ready to go.

Everyone in my life has been really supportive and great trying to help me on my journey in any way. Thank you all!

I'll keep you all updated here throughout my journey. Feel free to comment or email me, and I might just get back to you :)
