So this will be my blog for my European adventures this summer in Italy, Switzerland, and London. I leave tomorrow morning bright and early at 8:30 am with all my fellow angels. Everyone keeps asking me if I am excited for my upcoming travels and I feel bad saying that I am more nervous than anything else. I just hope I have all my ducks in line for the journey and I have packed enough supplies to last me two months. I know I will be able to buy things while being abroad but I hope that I have taken care of all the vital essentials. I cant seem to concretely express how I am feeling at the moment because I am such a jumble of emotions, insecurities, wishes, and goals for this trip. On one hand I am petrified of leaving the home I have made in Raleigh for the last 3 years and venture into a land that I know little about with a language that I speak nothing of. Part of me is pumped to see all these monuments and sights that I have only pictured in my mind or witnesses in books/television. At the same time I hope I have prepared myself to walk into this situation and handle whatever is thrown at me in a safe manner. I know this experience will change my life and I can't wait for the changes to come, I guess its just the fear of the unknown that is a tad unsettling ;)
Phew, ranting aside. I am very excited for this new chapter in my book to begin.
To all my friends and family that will be reading while I am gone, I just want you all to know how much I love and miss you and I will try my best to keep this blog up as periodically as I can.
I guess the next time you hear from me I will be in Italy (ack!)

The nerves are completely normal. If you had asked me how I was the night before I left, I would have responded just like you - more nervous than excited. But you are an interested, curious, intelligent, competent Meredith woman and you will take Europe by storm! I know it ;).
