Almost there!

So in four hours I will be packing up the car and leaving for the airport. I can't wait and yet it seems like time is moving too fast at the same time. I just called my Mom to tell her goodbye and I must have told her good night and then restarted the conversation a dozen times. I was like "Bye Mom . . . . No wait, don't hang up yet!"
Five weeks without a phone sounded good a few months ago. What was I thinking?

My friends Tricia and Krystal drove down to help me pack today but we ended up going to the river and drinking beer instead. Which probably kept me sane. Not to mention it was a ton of fun. However, this entertaining day is the reason why I will be heading to Costa Rica lobster red! Tricia and I got incredibly sunburned in these bizarre patterns on our legs and my face is . . . warm. The sad thing isn't that I remembered to pack sunblock, it's that i forgot to put any on!

Oh yeah, The study abroad program I am with changed my host family. They didn't really explain why other than the family was unexpectedly unable to have students living there. Mysterious!!! However, this means that I no longer get a maid. Even though I know it is ridiculous I am still a little heartbroken. Every girl should get a maid once in their life!
Oh well, I guess I'll have to wait on that bucket list item. I suppose there is only so many things you are allowed to cross off in one trip.
I also can't find my new host families house on google map but since I will see it tomorrow I will probably survive.

Once I get my baggage and go through customs tomorrow I am supposed to head outside and wait for someone from ISA to pick me up. However,  I received an email yesterday informing us that a group of people have been showing up at the airport holding ISA signs that don't actually work for them. So now I have a picture of everyone who works at ISA in San Jose in my purse and we have a super duper secret password. I feel like I'm in a spy movie!

Well I'm going to go check my ticket information and confirm that I have my passport in my purse a million more times.
