Countdown!
Five… Four… Three… Two… One!!!
The excitement of starting my trip is starting to kick in. I can’t believe that there is only a few more days until I board that plane and make my way to Beijing. All of it seems so surreal because this has been such a long time in the making. I’ve always dreamed of having a vacation like this and now I get to live it. It’s such an awesome way to end the year — and a long year it’s been.
My friends and I have been keeping tabs on the weather reports for the various areas we will be traveling to… it’s snowing on the Great Wall!! I was hoping for snow at the Great Wall because all the beautiful pictures that I’ve seen of this historic structure (can it even be considered a structure?!) has always been on a bright and sunny day. But snow or not I can’t wait to see it for myself and take it all in.
My room is a mess – as is my sister’s room. I’ve been using the empty space because she isn’t back from school until Thursday night and I am using the space to sort out all the stuff I plan on packing. I’ve been terribly busy but one thing is for sure, I need to clean everything up before she makes it home for the holiday break. I’ve been told to pack light, but it’s been challenging because I have to pack for extremely cold weather to balmy tropical weather. In any case, I hope to get it all cleaned up by Sunday morning because I don’t want to come home to a messy room.
For those of you who have been dropping by my page – you’ll notice that after the next couple of days, the site will be going through a slight facelift as I retrofit it for the trip. I’ll be adding in new feature as to share pictures and other things while I am on the trip so stay tuned.
Anyhow… the countdown has officially start… I’m five days in counting until the big trip! I can’t wait!
