I am all packed up … AND IN ONLY ONE SUITCASE! It definitely took more than one try to make this happen. The first try, my luggage weighed 67 pounds! I was a little upset because I believed I packed well enough to make it under the 50-pound requirement, but looks like I was way off. So I took some items out and tried it again, and luckily it all worked out!
I am beyond excited to go! The butterflies are kicking in, and I have even shed a few tears saying goodbye to a few friends already even though it is only 4 weeks!).
I leave from Chicago O'Hare at 2:00pm, to fly to Newark, New Jersey. Then from New Jersey, I arrive at the Shannon Airport in Co Clare, Ireland at 7:00 am. My program has arranged for airport pick up to take us right to our apartments where I will be living! I am not sure who my roommates are yet. But I am not too worried!
I cannot believe it is so close to departure! I can almost taste it!
