My Last Day in the U.S.

With a little under 12 hours until I depart, I am beginning to feel a bit nervous...okay maybe I've been nervous for a few days now, but I digress...Tomorrow will be the first time I have flown alone, carrying more luggage than usual and nursing a wounded foot. I am taking a flight from the Windy City to Denver and then Denver to L.A. At this point, I will finally be able to meet up with the people I have been chatting with and Facebook stalking for the past month or so! (A little too creepy, maybe? You have to make sure your future roommates are going to be cool as hell!...which mine are by the way=) From L.A., my fellow interns and I will be flying about 13 hours across the Pacific to Auckland, New Zealand, aka "The City of Sails." Then we will take a bus to Rotorua...where the real adventure begins!
