To go ahead and answer some questions:
I have no idea how long I will be over there.
I don't know anyone over there.
I don't know where I will stay/ live.
I don't know where I will work.
I still have not gotten my visa. - I am sending that in on Monday to BUNAC.
BUNAC is handling my visa information.
I am not making any commitments on how long I will be there or where I am going.
When I get there on July 7 - I will meet with BUNAC for a small orientation.
I leave on July 4th. I am going to spend a night in LA before heading out on the 13 1/2 hour flight.
I am excited about my trip.
I think I answered it all.
The next 5 weeks, I will be trying to figure out what shoes, clothes, purses, jewelry, scarves, hats, etc....I can live without for a while. And decide what items will make the cut to fill my 2 small suitcases. I must figure out this whole SKYPE business. And need to realize I will be heading back into Winter. Ready or not...I am leaving in 5 weeks...Woohoo! (I think)
