Welllll, this is my last night in Ohio, then I'm shipping out to Quito, Ecuador for the next 2.5 months. I'll be living with complete strangers in a land where I barely know the language. You could say I'm a little more than nervous. EEK! Luckily, I'm also going with my friend/roommate Kelsey. Thank goodness, because I would be reeeeeally freaking out if I were not traveling with her.
In between Spanish classes, we'll be traveling to various locations in Ecuador (our excursions). Here is my itinerary:
January 10--Arrive in Quito
January 24--Visit Cotopaxi (the world's highest active volcano)
February 7-8--Banos (a tourist town known for its hot springs)
February 14-15--Esmeraldas (beaches and rainforests)
February 21-25--Rainforest and Papallacta
March 12-17--The Galapagos Islands
March 25--Back to Ohio!
I have no idea what I'm getting myself into. Hopefully, it will be a great experience though...
On another related note, saying goodbye is not fun at all. It's actually horrible, and I hate it. This is just such a long time to be away from everyone. Thankfully, the only few goodbyes I have left are to my parents tomorrow morning.
Ohhhh, tomorrow morning...waking up at 4am (note that it is currently past 12am). So, I guess the next time I post to this I'll be in Ecuador!
