Preparing for Departure

Packing all my essentials (clothes, shoes, toiletries), paying all my bills, and tying up loose ends today. It still hasn't hit me that I will be flying off to a foreign land, foreign culture in two days. Thankfully, my dad has a relative (his cousin) who will be picking me up from the airport and housing me for one night before I go to my host family on Saturday. I had been worrying about having to carry all my luggage onto the RER train, being very clumsy at it, while trying to pull out my maps to figure out where I was going, and by then most would know I was a foreigner and someone would've tried to pickpocket me. But none of that now.

Off to packing now and hopefully my next post will be from Paris.

Au revoir!
