well let's see, it's 2:48 in the morning, and I'm still not done packing, but I wanted to sneak in the first blog of my adventure. In about 50 minutes, dad will drop off me and mom to the airport. For those who don't know what's going on, my maternal great Uncle fell in love with my great Aunt in Guatemala and basically never came back. SO I've got a lot of cousins down there and one of them is getting married and my mom and I are going to the wedding. So we fly from Boston -> Atlanta -> Guatemala City, where I think somebody will be picking us up? Maria Olga, my mom's first cousin, is taking us in, so I think we'll eventually end up at her house. The wedding will then be in Antigua on Saturday. My suit looks pretty wicked, I'm not going to lie.
My backpack looks like a massive tortoise shell. If Martha, Abbey, or Sus could see this, I'm sure they'd be rolling their eyes. The backpack amazing fits a TON of clothes, whether I'm going to need them all has yet to be discovered, but I have about 45 minutes now to decide and still have more stuff to pack.
I can hear mom rumbling around downstairs, clearly not having packed either, so I'm sure dad will LOVE waking up at 3:35 a.m. to find out that neither mom nor I are ready to leave, especially when he has to give a presentation on Taxes to two classes at B.C. today. As the title states, yikes.
So I'm REALLY excited to get this experience underway, and hopefully i'll be able to post again soon!
Totally pass the blog on if I wasn't able to hit up everybody!
