~ thoughts ~

At the moment, the nervousness has taken over whatever excitement was there. I realize that I am going somewhere that I really know nothing about and staying with people I really don't know. The language is the factor too. I think I'll experience some initial panic when we're there because I have always relied on my ability to communicate clearly, but that was in English, not Spanish. But I also feel that there will be that moment where everything will "click," and I'll realize that I am understanding what is being said to me. I'm just waiting to get done with the running around for things, to finish the packing, to go through the security checks, and finally get on the plane.
