Two Days!!

I can't believe that the time is finally here! In two days, I will depart on a trip to take me farther away from home than I have ever been before. My interest in study abroad trips started in undergrad when I spent a month in Belize, but it was nothing compared to what we're in for. The plane ride was only an hour and a half, the native language was English, and they were still in the Central time zone! It was so easy to adjust, and I know for a fact things will be vastly different for this trip. With the exception of Belize, I have never been outside of the US, and I haven't really traveled from Texas that much in general. I've been to Florida 4 times, flying 3 and driving at night the 4th. The Frio River is the farthest west I have ever been and, sadly, Dallas is as far north. So this is a huge change for me, and I am super excited! Hopefully, all of my stresses of making sure we catch trains, find our hotels, etc will eventually ease up as we get settled in Germany, even though I know we're up against a hectic (yet fun!) schedule.
