Getting ready to head out on a jet plane...

Packing has never been my strong suit. Im always nervous I am going to forget something or I will not have that one thing I need when I get down there. When I first got accepted into the Chile program, I had it in my mind that it was going to be warm down there. But much to my surprise, its winter down there! Apparently hemispheres make a difference. :) So after having already purchased some warm season clothes for down there, I had to switch it up. I am now sorting through my winter clothes trying to find things that are not too heavy that I can take down. I bought two new fleeces and a rainjacket so hopefully that will keep me warm enough. Apparently in the region I am headed to it can get to below 30 degrees.

I still need to figure out what Im going to do without a laptop. I bought a new camera so I guess Ill just burn cds of my pictures. Without access to my music, I guess Im bringind down cds!

I am leaving on the 24th of July and returning the 16th of December. I am going to travel down there for two weeks after I am done with the program. Hopefully one of my friends is coming down to travel with me for a week, otherwise I will try to do it on my own!

Chao!
