Nervous excitement!!!

I'm leaving in a couple of days you guys! only 2 more days left in Houghton, MI! and 4 days left in the U.S.! My whole family is heading down to Madison, WI [which is where I'm flying out of] on Thursday. I'm flying out of the Madison airport at 9:53 on Friday. Nick [the other kid from my rotary district that is going to Ecuador] is flying with me, the whole way. I'm soooo excited for that, because i don't have to fly by myself EVER, which I was actually kind of scared about. We're flying from Madison to Cincinnati to Atlanta to Quito!

The packing is in progress. We've weighed both of my suitcases and they're both under 50 lbs! Of course, not all of my stuff's in them yet...but I'm sure we'll manage to make them under the weight limit! We're going to Marquette tomorrow to get any last minute things I might need.

I'm getting so excited you guys! The next couple of days are jam-packed full of stuff that I have to do, so time will go so fast. Before I know it, it's going to be Friday and I'll be on my way to Ecuador! I'm excited, but I'm also starting to get kind of nervous. I think my excitement outweighs the nervousness though.

I'm going to miss everyone so much, but this year's going to go by so fast. It's going to be soooo fun too! We'll keep in touch, so don't worry!

If anyone wants to write to me, that doesn't already have my address in Quito, email my mom or me and we'll give you the address! I'd love to hear from you guys!

Hey Kaeti! I just got back from San Francisco, so I can relate about flying on planes. You have a lot of connecting flights... hmm. That can be pretty annoying at times, but at least you can walk around a bit between plane rides. :)

Well, good luck with your departure! Don't forget to write me, okay? ;) Send me your first host family's address if you're too busy to write to me first, and I'll write and get things started, if that works better; I'm sure you'll be really really busy your first couple of months.
