Haciendo las maletas

I leave TOMORROW!!!  Is this real life?

I feel like I have been packing for foreverrrrrr.  My biggest dilemma so far has been whether or not to bring one checked suitcase or two (life is hard, right?).

I have a whole lot of traveling to do tomorrow and the weather channel is predicting snow and freezing rain.  Hopefully my flight isn't delayed!  I'm leaving Madison at 8:00 AM to drive to Brookfield to meet Rebekah (a UW-Madison student who I will be living in a host family with) then driving to Chicago.  We have a flight from Chicago to Madrid and then another one from Madrid to Sevilla.  This is going to be very interesting because I have barely ever traveled anywhere by plane, so I'm in for a treat.  Did I mention that I have never been away from Madison for more than 10 days at a time in my entire life?  And that I have never left the U.S.?  And here I am going to Sevilla for 4 months.  Crazy!

I have been listening to a lot of Shakira today, hoping that my Spanish skills will magically improve (I don't think it worked).  Today I will leave you with a nice song by Don Omar that was very popular in Spain last year...
