Katie Benji, I miss you already! I know that it is going to be tough being away from each other for so long but I know that you are going to have an amazing time. I am so excited for you that you have the opprotunity to experience this once in a lifetime trip. Take it all in and dont rush home before you have done and seen all that you came to see. Come home without any regrets! Please dont worry about me while you are away. You have given that task to enough responsible people back home. However, I will definitely worry about you so please keep up the blog, keep in touch, and take lots of pictures so that we all know that you are having a blast and staying safe. All of us here are living through you so make it a great one. I love you more than anything in the world! I will miss you more than you will ever know. Please stay VERY safe and take care of spot!
