I’m Cautiously Excited: Upcoming Trip

My trip out of country  is in less than 1 month!! I haven’t left the country in forever and I just can’t wait! This trip will be different from all my other trips, as I am going primarily for work.  But I’m sure I will have plenty of time to explore in the three short weeks I will be there.

So why am I cautiously excited? When I first learned about my trip, the first thing I thought about was bringing my camera. Do I really want to bring my expensive camera to a third world country?  The answer is yes, of course, but I was worried it would get stolen. Thing is if I don’t take the risk now, I won’t be able to take the risk ever again. And since I would like traveling to be a big part of my future, I need to start somewhere.

So I am officially bringing my camera. And I’m soo excited to use it while I am out of country.  I can’t wait to see the Mayan ruins, the beaches, the tropical forests (hint, hint)  And I can’t wait to share it with my blog readers…well the few that I have left.  But I am cautious as this is the first time I’ve walked around a poor country with an expensive gizmo by my side.  It’s also the first time I’ve been to a poor country by myself.  But like I said, if I’m going to be doing this the rest of my life, I will have to start somewhere.

I realize I’ve pretty much neglected my blog since school started this past semester…its been crazy busy, but I’m still on track to graduating in three instead of four years. So you can imagine the stress I’ve been under cramming two semesters worth of classes into one. Talk about fun stuff. Next week is final exams, so after that I’m homeward bound then I’m heading south to my secret destination
