Kristina and I leave for Europe in T-minus 3 days!! We are so ill-prepared it is not even funny. It is going to be interesting how the next few weeks transpire.
I am NOT: packed, ready to go, have all of my stuff that I need, aware that I am ACTUALLY LEAVING on MONDAY or ready to say good bye to everyone.
I AM: Excited, scared and believe (perhaps naively) that I am ready for how traveling, Europe and being away from home for so long will affect me.
I still need to get: Beef jerky, flat fruit, phone cards and copies made of all of my documents.
I would just like to thank everyone that helped Kristina and I in any way, no matter how large or small, that has allowed us to make this amazing trip a realization. I understand this is not something many people get to experience at my age, or if at all. Everything all of you did, whether it be giving us items for our crazy garage sale, encouraging us or helping us plan and implement our trip or giving us advice on traveling in Europe, I appreciate it more then you know. I would like to specifically thank Jennifer for planning a huge part of our trip for us--thanks to you we will not be lost in at least a few countries!! I would also like to thank Kristina's parents, Jenny and Dave, for allowing us to store all of our garage sale crap in their trailer/garage/house for the massive sale, and especially to Dave for getting up at the ass crack of dawn with us everyday to help us with the garage sale. I would also like to thank my parent's for supporting me with my crazy, all of a sudden, idea to go to Europe for the summer. Also, thanks to those who contributed to the garage sale with items (Jennifer and Mike, my parents, Kristina's parents, Kristina's family members and my Grandparents.
And to Kristina: Thanks for allowing me to persuade you that you needed to leave your friends, family and Danny for 6 weeks to go to Europe with me on a whim! We will have an amazing time. I can always count on you to go along with my crazy ass ideas, oh what trouble we will get ourselves into! : )
If I did not get to say goodbye or see any of you prior to my leaving, you are still in my thoughts and will miss you all greatly. I will see you all when I return at the end of August. Keep up with my trials and tribulations through this, e-mail and shutterfly.com
I hope you all have an amazing summer and I will see you all when I get back. If you need to contact me, do so through e-mail and/or Myspace.
Will I be ready in 3 days to leave my friends, family and the country? We shall see!!! Now, lets cross our fingers so that I don't forget anything and we don't get lost over there!!
Love always,
Kimberly ( :
