Ready for Takeoff

Tomorrow's the day! I feel like I've been planning this trip forever and now that it's here I can't really believe it. I don't think it'll really hit me that I'm leaving for a month until I'm standing at the airport terminal. I have a really early flight tomorrow too and I have to be at the airport at 5:45 in the morning so that's gonna be fun. I've got a 3 hour layover in Houston and then I board a plane which gets my to San Jose at 8:45pm. A woman from IFRE is picking me up at the airport to drive me to my family's home which should be about an hour away. So I figure I'll get to my host family's at maybe 10:15, say my hellos, and collapse into bed. Then bright and early at 8am Monday morning I've got a Spanish language placement exam which determines the level of Spanish lessons I'll be in. (I don't think it'll be a big surprise to anyone when I land myself in beginner's lessons). Then after lunch, I get to meet everyone at the orphanage. Very excited right now! Wish me luck:)
