Take-off in One Week!

I'm so excited I can hardly stand it! I have to keep myself from packing too prematurely and just waiting by the door for days :)

My flight leaves from Salt Lake next Friday. I have one stop at JFK Airport in New York, and then I get into London at about 7 am July 4th. Ironic that I'm traveling to England on Independence Day, isn't it? From London I'll take a 3 hour bus ride to Cardiff, meet the rest of my group, and spend the day getting settled into our houses. I'm crossing my fingers that our house has wireless internet, but I won't know until we get over there. If we don't have it, I'll only be on a few times a week to update this blog and check my email. But if we do, I might have much more opportunity to upload pictures and tell stories and such. We'll just have to see.

These past several weeks of preparing for the trip have gone so quickly that I'm starting to realize how quickly the time will pass there, too. But I'm so thankful for this chance to study abroad with a really wonderful group who will make every day an adventure :)
