It finally occurred to me late this afternoon that perhaps I should begin packing. I have been graciously rolling my eyes as my friends and family lovely remind me that since I will be abroad for an entire year, it would be a good idea to not leave my packing until the night before I depart. Which is exactly what I did. However, I must add that I did a magnificent job organizing, wash, folding and rolling all of my items into the ONE suitcase that I will be bring, as well as my additional carryon backpack! Ta Da!
With now only mere thirteen hours left until departure, I am completely confident that I am totally numb to the fact that I will be away from home for nearly nine months. Having only ever lived in Vancouver I welcome the blessed opportunity to live and study Italy as GU student.
Please enjoy this blog with me as I experience the next chapter in my life.
"My two favorite words are linked, departure and time." -Frances Mayes
This quote is dear to me heart and is found in Mayes book, A Year in the World. I'm always reminded of it when I travel. I know that tomorrow, my heart will be skipping through that airport in Seattle and all I will see is the sign that reads DEPARTURES.
