As per usual, I have my pre-travel stomach. I'm leaving to Mexico tonight, and I have all day to get ready. I can't explain why I get nervous... after all, I LOVE to travel! I planned this whole thing myself... I WANT to go. But still, the nature of the beast is that I will be traveling to a foreign country, where I barely speak the language, am getting picked up by a total stranger, and then living in her house for a week. Eek!
Oaxaca, Mexico... this is a place I have wanted to go for a long time. The current situation there is a little un-nerving (google "oaxaca" if you want to know what I am talking about). I'm sure it will be fine; after all, I've been to Israel and Guatemala. This should be a piece of cake compared to those two.
Well, need to do some more packing. Perhaps will add more later. Thanks for all the support. Wish me luck, and check back often. I'm bringing my laptop with me.

Holly Friend.
ReplyDeleteI'm so proud of you! I can definitely relate to the pre travel stomach, crazy huh? I think every trip I ever took on my own started with at least two days of crying and being freaked out in a foreign land, and then it all disolved and the freedom and love of travel took over.
Enjoy and grow.
Un abrazo fuerte amiga!
Love

I did not know that I could comment! UGH! Sorry. Miss you already and have a wonderful time! I am sorry I missed you the other day, I will just have to see you when you get back! YEA!
ReplyDeleteSending good tummy vibes your way,

You are awesome! Sounds like you are having a spectacular (a word I don't use nearly enough) time! Laughed out loud regarding the toilet/shower...same thing in Korea when I lived there, but with the added washing machine in there too. It was always a challenge not to electrocute myself and not to get the toilet paper wet while I was showering. We are sending you tons of love. Armstrong misses his Auntie Holly already.
