I'm back in Orange for the week to see my parents and Saturday I'll be flying out for Peru. It's starting to set in that I'll be leaving Saturday to spend a month in a foreign country, by myself. Well I wont be by myself once I get there but the traveling down there I will be. I'm trying to think positive and not psych myself out about the flights. I'm flying out of Houston with a connection in Miami.
I've been talking to my roommate, Emily, on Facebook lately. She's from Kansas and goes to school in Nebraska. I'm excited to meet her! I think we are going to have a lot of fun and it seems like her Spanish is better than mine so hopefully I can learn from her.
The last of my errands are almost done. I got my yellow fever shot (since I'm going to the Amazon) and contacted American Airlines, turns out my checked luggage will have no cost! I still need to get another gift for my host family, I already got them a TX State magnet. I also need to get some type of raincoat or poncho for the Amazon trip.
Here's a schedule of the excursion trips:
