35 days until take off!



Okay, even typing the title for this blog post made my heart race! Oh my goodness,  I'm getting so excited! I have a few things VERY exciting things to share with you! 


First, my trip is nearly fully funded, THANK YOU GOD! Amazingly enough, we got our tickets for much less than we had anticipated, which has been such an answer to many prayers! I am so excited! The next step, which may not be so much fun will be all the shots. Yes, shots. We are seeing a travel doctor who is giving us shots based on what we are at risk for encountering in the region in which we are traveling. Should be a great time....insert lots of sarcasm here!


Second,


Look what came in the mail!!! I was giddy! Nearly blissful! Much more excited than a girl should be about a passport! And now to get a stamp in that book! 

Third, this week I will be sharing with you some very random thoughts I've been having as I prepare for the trip, but I wanted to share one interesting thing I learned in our last meeting. We have to pack toilet paper. Why you ask? Well, the hotels we will stay in will provide it, but when we are out and about, well, let's just say there's not much access to working plumbing. This should be interesting!

I'm sorry to be so brief with this post, but I will do better this week, I promise! I have so much to share with you about the trip that is, dare I say it again....35 days away!
