You cannot discover new oceans unless you are willing to lose sight of the {south} shore.

So it's 9:07. The last morning before I leave and to say the least I am pretty nervous. I have never been away from home for this long. I still have a few last minute things to do before I am actually ready but overall I'm set.

It's a really bizarre feeling knowing I'm not going to be able to see everyone for so long. Yesterday threw off my "last time to see everyone" plans, but at least I can skype and I know I'll have pretty inexpensive minutes to call home with, and free incoming calls!

My flight leaves at 6:15 tonight and we land around that time in the morning on Thursday. Once I know my mailing address and phone number I'll post it! Also my email address is now kerin.riley@gmail.com, apparently our BU email might not work once we get there.

I'm still kind of sickish feeling from yesterday but I think I'll be okay later. My combined luggage weighs more than I do so that should be interesting to pull/carry!

My next post will probably be from Dublin!
