I can not believe we are this close!! We leave for the trip a week from tomorrow and it is so surreal. I remember when I first signed up to go, my countdowns were in the triple digits and now we are only a week away. A few of us that are going on the trip went to a local Thai restaurant tonight just so we could all get a taste of what some of the food would be like over in Thailand. For the most part, everyone seemed to like it, but everything seems to be very spicy so that will take some getting used to! We asked one of the waitresses who is actually from Thailand what people over there eat for breakfast, and it was somewhat of a surprise when she said they eat rice and beef or chicken. It is going to be very different then our pancakes and eggs we eat here! Even though I am very excited that the trip is only a week away, I would be lying if I said I was not nervous. This is going to be my first time away from family and friends for such a long period of time and communicating with them will be difficult because of the time difference. Hopefully I will adjust very quickly! Well goodbye for now and the next time you’ll here from me, it will be from Vietnam!
