So tomorrow is the big day! I am waking up at 6am, blowdrying and doing my hair for the last time for the next two months and then heading down to Detroit. We are leaving at 8am because we have to stop my Somerset before heading to the airport, because I still have not been able to get a case for my iPad. Our plane leaves out of Detroit around 2:30pm to Washington D.C, and then leaving D.C around 6pm to arrive in Brussels at 7:30am. So far the plan is to head to the University of Brussels and drop off my luggage for the month of July (which consists of dress clothes) and then we are hoping on the Eurostar to London :) Meredith's cousin, Dawn, is meeting us at the train station and then showing us around the town.

Packing went really smoothly actually with many thanks to my mom. But overall everything fit into my backpack and I feel as though I have all the necessities. At last minute today we had to run and buy a new medium sized suitcase, because at home we only have extremely small or extremely large luggage. So its BRIGHT red, with a cheetah print luggage tag. It is pretty out there, but I don't think anyone will be taking off with it, and that makes it PERFECT!

Other than that, I printed my plane tickets & charged all my batteries :) I'm pretty torn though because I feel so prepared, yet I'm not quite ready to leave. But ready or not, tomorrow morning is going to come... and fast!
