Dear Travel Journal,

Only 14 days left until I go to South Korea! I can't believe it's so close! It's rather hard to believe that I will be leaving the country soon!

I am praying that I can overcome my shyness and be relaxed and comfortable for the three weeks I stay there!

I am decided when exactly to give the cranes to Jay. On the 23rd, when they take me to the airport, right before I walk to go to my plane, I will hand it to him and tell him only to open it when I am gone. I hope that works out... especially since I don't know if he is leaving after of before me...

1000 cranes is good luck and I guess if you make 1000, you can ask one wish, so mine is that Jae will tell me he loves me haha

I asked Jee Soo what I should get her parents as a thank you present, and she said to get them snacks like chocolate, apple sauce and fruitsnacks... Because I guess they like snacks o.o; The my mommy said I could make a little gift basket out of it, so I guess I will do that!

Then I asked what she and her brother wanted, but i haven't gotten an answer yet.

I keep forgetting to call the airline to find out for sure what day I arrive in Korea! I have to do that very soon!

Soon I will empty out my camera onto my computer so that I have room for my trip! Also, I will put the whole cd, that Jae gave me, on it.

Well, I got a little behind on my crane making so I won't be done in 4 days, but it shouldn't take me too much longer.

Sincerely,

Amanda Berrelez
