After all the time I have spent thinking about Morocco and what it will be like, it is hard to believe that I will be heading off on a plane one week from today. It still seems so strange to me that I won’t be traveling with my family and that I will be experiencing something completely new with my classmates. Little things will be so different such as not having my sister acting as my “plane buddy” for the eight hour plane ride to Paris and then some to Morocco (tear tear) but I’m sure I will manage. I am looking forward to having this trip push me to stand on my own two feet in so many ways. I will have to figure out how to check in at the Air France stand without my mom taking care of it for me (she insists it won’t be that difficult but I’m I will find a way to make it difficult) and how to cram as much of Paris as possible into three days without my Aunt leading us every which direction. But I feel like experiences such as these will be new for so many of my classmates too, which will serve as a great bonding experience. I am so anxious for what this trip holds that I keep imagining so many different scenarios in my head and I cannot wait to actually live it for real!
Only 7 more days...meaning I should actually start figuring out how I am going to cram in 3 weeks worth of stuff into a tiny suitcase!!
Dear Lisa, You so amaze me! To think of that little shy girl who came to my door 14 years ago and now your off on a plane out of the country by yourself. (Well,I mean without your Mom) To think all the trouble you had getting on the kindergarten school bus! You have truly grown intro a beautiful,strong,intelligent,and confident young woman. I'm so proud of you. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers while you are away. And look forward to hearing all about it once you get home. Love, Joanne!
