Ready, set, go.

So, eight loads of laundry, two suitcases (weighing a total of 87 lbs.) one carry-on, too many converter chords to count and a ridiculously giant coat and i'm finally packed for Luxembourg. If I can just say ... oy. I leave in two days and it still doesn't seem like I'm actually going away. New country, new language, new experiences, new everything. On the one hand I absolutely can't wait to go - this is one of the big reasons I decided to go to Miami, and it's pretty much the chance of a lifetime. 4 months of studying abroad in a chateau while traveling the better part of a hemisphere. But on the other hand, I'm really going to miss my friends and my family. Can't everyone just come with me? That would be awesome.
At any rate, I've now started this blog so I can do my best to keep people updated on my travels and shenanigans. Because trust me, there will be shenanigans. 48 hours from now I'll be on a plane to Lux ... well, almost anyway. More like I'll be sitting in the Newark airport waiting to board said plane. But nonetheless! Prepare to expect the unexpected and find the impossible to be possible - time to take on Europe.
Love,
me

I'll miss you and I wish I could go too. Rachel, I have no doubts in my mind you'll give everyone in europe something to talk about. Knock 'em dead and show them what class is. So in the illustrious words of Mr. Bogart as "Rick" 'Here's looking at you kid'.
