ONE MONTH AWAY!!!

As hard as it is to believe, ONE MONTH from today I will be in Halifax, Nova Scotia! My mom and I will be exploring the first country of my nine country voyage before boarding the ship at 8:00 am on June 15th. Over the past two weeks, you have not heard much from me as I have been taking exams, packing up my Junior year, and moving back to Aiken. I began my summer at home by cleaning out my room and separating all of my belongings for things to re-pack for my SENIOR year of college and things to take with me on the "experience of a lifetime" (I can't believe I am already going into my Senior year...). My room is absolutely a mess right now (well at least a mess for me...many of you know I am normally pretty clean), but I guess it happens when you are planning for a 9 week voyage on a SHIP! It has also been very exciting recently. Danielle and I ordered all of our textbooks for the semester (we are splitting the cost, since we are taking two of the same classes). I also went and opened up an extra account at a different bank, so that I have a back up debit card just incase. I also applied for my first credit card this week. How exciting?!? I want to be well prepared while abroad, since I have heard so many horror stories especially involving credit cards. Today, I went and bought an 8GB memory card for my camera, so that I can take millions of pictures for you all to see. Next week, I am headed to Fort Mill to meet up with Danielle, so that we can finish researching our independent travels within each country. This should be really fun! I can't wait!!!!!!! I will keep you posted...
