'Twas the night before travel...

And all through the house, the Ginger was stirring- she was finishing packing!

Tomorrow is the big day- the day that I head to England! I am proud to say that I am (almost) packed! I have a hard time doing things a head of time, it's a procrastination thing ;) but oddly enough, I packed the day before yesterday (Thursday). Crazy, eh?!

I haven't done much prep today- just picking up some last minute items and doing some visiting (Holla to Tam, Cara and Court!). Tomorrow I don't leave until 5:45pm, so I basically have all day to run around and do the very last minute errands (but don't tell my Mom- she thinks I'm done haha). I leave from Moncton with a lay-over (5.5 hours...) in Halifax. My flight to London leaves Halifax at 11:45pm- let's hope I sleep a ton!

I am super excited to get over to England. There will be something new each day. I'm ready to see what the UK has to offer- who knows, I may decide to return soon :) I love travel, and I'm happy that this will be my first international trip. Not only because it will be to England (during the Jubilee!!), but because I legitimacy LOVE the Brits and I'm looking forward to learning more about them and the area.

For anyone wondering, as of right now, I have 2 of my 4 host families confirmed:

June 3- 9: Visiting with Melissa in London!
June 11-18: Warwickshire
June 18-25: Dorset
June 25- July 2: Gwent
July 2- 9: Leicestershire

July 9: I'm coming home!

As for my little blog, I will be updating as often as I can. I want to keep all of my dear friends up to date on my Euro-shenanigans ;)
