PreTrip

Providence, United States

I'm sitting at home preparing my last minute travel stuff, including starting/finishing my packing! I think I am more of my mother's daughter than I realize sometimes...

Today has been filled with anticipation, a little nervousness, excitement, and errands! It's sort of hard to explain how I'm feeling right now, but it's a good feeling. Harry will be picking me up in a few hours to take me to the Amtrak Station in downtown Providence where I will catch the commuter rail to the Back Bay stop in Boston. I will be met there by my friend Jason who goes to Northeastern, spend some time hanging with him and his friends and then will call a taxi to Logan International airport around 2:30am.

My flight leaves at 5:30am (aka I probably won't be sleeping until the flight embarks) and I will arrive in Costa Rica at 10:55am on the 21st. Costa Rican time is the same as Mountain Time in the US (so it's currently 5:11pm in Providence and 3:11pm in Costa Rica).

I'm going to try to update this as much as possible while I'm there. Apparently internet cafes are very popular.

The anticipation and excitement brews...

Plymouth, United States

Yesterday, we finally bought a GPS. We've been wanting to buy one for some time now, but they are all rather expensive. But we figured if we were going to get one though, it needed to be pretty good so it could actually help us on the trip! Mike did some research and chose this one, so we went and picked it up yesterday.

Here it is!: http://www.circuitcity.com/ccd/productDetail.do?oid=207968&om_keycode=8360
(And we had a coupon, so it was even cheaper than it is listed for)

We have a few fun voices to help us along. We have a British woman we named Chloe, and then downloaded a bunch more. There is an Australian man we named Logan, an Irish woman we named Lynette, and then we also have Borat and Slingblade (Mike's idea!). So it should be interesting!

I woke up earlier this morning and went to Mayestik Market with my uncle, Oom Tisna. I went to buy some souvenirs for the other Changemakers, bought 100 batik keychains in the form of batik bags and batik hems. Mum bought me a suitcase and a few socks. I went to my auntie's, Tante Mawly, house too. She lent me a few wool sweater, a coat and jackets.

As the day draws nearer, we are all excited for the preparation of the trip that we've been waiting since January for.

Exams are finally over, we've worked hard for four months, now 10 days left to the Cairns, and I bet everyone going on the trip just can't wait any longer.

Hopefully, preparations will be done well for a safe trip. =)

Cheers.
