two days two days two days!

There is basically only two days left until I am there in Sweden. I am going to be landing on the 13th at 1am in my home time zone... I really am getting anxious. I think that this is the worst part. I said goodbye to family and friends today. That was tougher than I thought it was going to be. I definitely cried a bit on the way home. Its weird, I didn't think that it would be this tough for me, because I thought,my excitement would mask any sadness that I have. I guess it didn't. I mean I think I knew I would be a bit emotional. Who wouldn't? leaving family, and friends for three months, to go somewhere new? I think anyone placed with that situation would be a bit sad. I am super excited though. I think tomorrow that excitement will really kick in. I'll be thinking all day, "When I wake up tomorrow I will be on my way!" Which is really really exciting!

 I'll begin my journey at 6:30 in the morning, go on a two hour car ride adventure with my mom. Then go through all the hoops that the airport can/ will throw at me... I am sure that i will manage to fall at least once.... I suppose I should mention that its a habit of mine, to fall at the airport... at least once every trip, I somehow manage to find the one wet spot on the floor, that doesn't have a sign, or my shoes slip, or something of that nature... its just a fact of life. After my adventure in airport #1 (Detroit)  I will land, of course, in Newark... (airport #2), where I will have 4 hours to relax, and prepare, and munch, and possibly nap, before I leave for the BEST part; The actual trip over the ocean! I'm going to try to get a window seat, I really don't want to be stuck in between two people...  plus, a window seat will give me something interesting to share with you all on Friday... or Saturday... depending on how tired I am. After that I am finally at my destination, where I imagine I will be greeted by a fairly large, and unfriendly danish- person... although who knows, I might be wrong. I could be greeted by someone small and very friendly. But from what I know about customs, being small and friendly doesn't really fit with the job description. I'll report on my findings after I get through! Once through customs Anton will be waiting for me, so I can find my way, and then we will hop on a train! Three hours later we will be at his parents' house!  Where I might take another nap... after all that traveling, I am going to be exhausted!

Speaking of exhausted, I am super tired right now. I need to get some sleep! Tomorrow I'll post pictures of my luggage. Well, not the before... that was... well a disaster... but the after I am really proud of! I will post pictures! and then that is officially it!
