With my departure date creeping closer I am finally starting to feel prepared. I've been packing for the last couple of days, trying to figure out everything I need to bring, what I should leave behind, and what I am missing. I think the packing has surprisingly helped to calm my nerves, or I guess it has helped me to organize my thoughts. I know I am bound to forget something and that I will most likely bring something that I will not use and that will just end up taking up space, but that's okay. I honestly can't believe that in about 4 days I'll be in Costa Rica. Let's see how many times I can go to the globe before I leave, right now my count is at 2 soon to be 3 since I'm off to meet Sarah for lunch there. I gotta have a good grilled cheese before I leave!
