I can't believe how quickly the trip is approaching - I've had my ticket for months and going to Guatemala always seemed like such a faraway and novel idea, but now it's nearly here, becoming more and more of a reality. I've only done a little bit of traveling before - to Spain with my Spanish class in high school for two weeks and to Mexico with Michael for a week - so it's a bit nerve wracking to think that I'm about to embark on an adventure to a place that I don't know much about all by myself.
But I'm ready. I'm ready to spend this time alone with myself, start to get a clue of who I am and what I want out of life, and maybe have an adventure or two. I had cold feet recently where I was seriously considering selling my ticket, but sticking with this is the best graduation present I could ever give myself. Assuming all my stuff isn't stolen on Day 1, haha.
I bought this online yesterday, and it should be here tomorrow:
While I originally didn't want to spend the money for it, I feel like I made the right decision. I will feel better knowing that I have a good piece of luggage that I can rely on and use again in the future. Like the dork I am, I can't wait to start loading my things up into it - I'll probably spend my time packing and repacking instead of studying for finals, haha.
For those who want to know, I'm flying out of SFO on June 20th and will be back on August 1st. Don't bother trying to call me, as my phone will be turned off and still here in California. I will try to update this as often as I can (though I probably wont write again until I actually get down there now) and will also be reachable through email.
Wish me luck, send me love, and keep reading. :)
