The final Countdown...

According to my "igoogle countdown" I have approximately 3 days 9 hours 7 minutes and 53 seconds until departure on the adventure of a life time, and that time is rapidly decreasing.... I was on the phone with my Sister In Law tonight telling her that I was a bit nervous about heading halfway across the world to Hong Kong for 2 months, and that in a sense i'd rather just go now. Her response was that it would be better if rather than having this anticipation and waiting time you could just be ready and then not know when you were going to leave, but rather just know that at some point you were going to have to go.

She was so right! This whole anticipation, saying good bye, worrying I forgot something, packing, repacking, lists upon lists upon lists of things to do, things to buy, things to pack, etc. It's just so complicated, and so really when it comes down to it i'd rather just not know when I have to leave just know that I'll be going sometime within the week.

I"m so excited to go I'd just like to go now! I'm excited for some serious people watching ( airports are prime people watching places) I'm excited for a new culture, new experiences, and new adventures. I'm excited to use chop sticks ( although admittely I still at times stab my food with the chop sticks rather than actually use them to pick up the food....)
So, In just 3 days 8 hours 31 minutes and 43 seconds ( I got fairly distracted while writing this so it took me a while) I will be on my way to an adventure of a life time in Hong Kong!
