Less than a Week!

I can't believe that after months of planning, fundraising and everything in between, I'm actually leaving this Thursday. It's a little shocking too, I'll admit. It won't seem to be a reality until it's finally happening and I'm sitting on the plane!

I don't know exactly what I'll be like on Thursday morning. My sleeping pattern is going to be a little mixed up because we're flying out of Buffalo at 6:30 in the morning, so we're leaving from TD at 1:30. Then after we touch down in Cancun, we drive for a good eight hours by bus to get to Belize.

The thing that I wonder about a lot is how fast the time will go by. My brother Eric, who spent four months in Hungary, told me that the first day is the longest, the first week never ends, but then once I'm comfortable with my surroundings after that, I'll wonder where the time went! But for now, I find that hard to believe. : P

I'm looking forward to using this blog to communicate with everyone! My camera is going to be with me wherever I go, so I'm planning on posting pictures regularly on here. I don't think it would be good enough to describe all the experiences I'll have with just words.
Anyways, I think that just about does it for now for a quick introduction. I'll have to do a better job explaining everything on my next post!
