¡2 días!

48 hours from now we'll be boarding the plane to Uruguay. Leaving. It's just now hitting me.

This summer my dad, Chaille, and I went kayaking on the Guadalupe River, and on our way down the river we stopped to climb the banks and swing off a rope hanging high over the water. I was so excited as we climbed up the cliff, but once we got to the top I was too afraid to jump. It took almost ten minutes to overcome my fear, and even then I was terrified until I came back up out of the water after taking the plunge. That same fear is what I'm feeling now. It's a mix of adrenaline, the unknown, and finally leaving my comfort zone. After years of longing to travel and get away, it's suddenly happening so fast. I have two days left to completely prepare myself for what will possibly be the biggest adventure of my life.

And I've still got a lot of packing to do.
