If I've learned anything in my short life it's that anticipation is a key ingredient to the success of many events. Without it honey wouldn't taste as sweet and that is why I am going to be writing about my trip even though it is 2 months in advance.



I able to successfully check off the first item on my list, my passport. I thought it would be a painful process because of bad ID pictures, trips to government offices on cold rainy days and a 4 week waiting period. I had it in less than two weeks and is a concrete sign that this trip is going to happen.
