Well, I’m finally started packing.  I fly out of Pittsburgh International Airport to Charlotte and then on to Mexico City on Friday.  I think I have to be at PGH around 5:30am for my 7:00am flight, and I live about an hour away, so it’s going to be an awfully early morning for me.

On the brighter side, though, packing has been going well so far, and I think I’m going to be able to fit everything into my two purple suitcases and my red carry-on bag.  So that’s good.

While in Mexico I’ll be doing all kinds of touring and stuff that I’ll be trying to keep you all updated on, but I think my first Mexican blog post might take awhile to get started.  I think I’ll probably need a few days to settle in with my Mexican “mother” before I’m back posting here.

I’m a little scared and overwhelmed about how fast everything is moving, but I’m also incredibly excited about this trip.  It’ll be my first solo airplane flight, and my first time “alone” in a foreign country.  

2 days to go…  😀
