It's almost time!

As I make the final preparations for departure, I am excited and overwhelmed at the same time! I have never been away from home for this long, and this is also the first time I have left the United States (I've never even been to Mexico, and I've lived in Texas my whole life!). I am SO excited thinking of all the places we will visit - Germany (of course), Switzerland, Italy, Czech Republic, Belgium, The Netherlands, Spain, and Ireland. I don't know what to expect, but I definitely think it will be the experience of a lifetime!

That's all for now, but I know my posts will get progressively longer once we arrive! Now I'm off to get my reading material for the longest flight I've ever been on (The Hunger Games series! Can't wait!).
