Lets try this again

This is my second blog about the same thing, I wasn't very happy with my other one so I decided I would start a new one. I am hoping this blog will mostly be about the adventures I hope to have overseas. I'm sure there will be plenty of them. I am heading to Europe on September 8th, 2007 at 4pm with two of my high school friends Jack and Andrew.

We have been planning this trip for a long time and it is approaching very quickly. I am getting a little bit nervous wondering if i will have everything ready in time. I have the main things organized now, as usual I left some things to the last minute. For example my passport only arrived a few days ago, where most people have theirs months in advance. In fact my friends were quite worried I wouldn't even be able to come. But that worry is over now, my main concern right now is the fact that I am packing all my belongings to move to a new place. So everything is being packed carefully so I don't put something that i need in the bottom of a box that I wont see again until I get back from my trip. Also the little things keep piling up too, like the watch I have right now is too expensive to risk losing in Europe, so a new cheap watch is on the list and sunglasses and shoes that will last and... well it keeps going.

I am definitely starting to get very excited though, only 18 days away. I keep thinking about how surreal it will feel in the airport, and the excitement that will build on our 7 hour flight. I still can't put myself arriving in London, where nothing will be familiar and the only two people I will be able to rely on are just as inexperienced in traveling as I am. I can't wait.
