Here I go..

It is pretty funny that I have spent the last two nights stressing about whether I should bring two suitcases or a suitcase and a sports bag with me to Australia. Instead, I could be excited about meeting new people and traveling to a different country, or at very least be worried about something more substantial like poisonous insects or customs.

Regardless of my present mental state, tomorrow morning I will head to JFK and begin the longest journey, ever. I will not tell you how long the flight will be and when I arrive places because it would either bore you or make you cringe. But not to worry, I bought two books to accompany on my journey. (The Joy Luck Club & Water for Elephants)

The only interesting thing that will come out of the next short phase of my trip is that I am going to meet up with my roomie, Jamie Lopez, in the beautiful LA during my layover. Very excited. (Also, I hope she reads this and brings one of those delicious pastry things for me!)

If you are in the air this weekend, look for me. I'll be the one with the obnoxiously printed suitcase and a doofy grin on my face.
