Less than a day before take-off!

I'm nervous; I'm about to set out for London with a group of 28 other individuals; two of whom I know well, the rest... we'll see.

I am already homesick-- and I haven't left yet.

I have spent so much time and energy preparing for this trip and I feel discouraged because I'm just not sure what else I need to do. I mean... do I need a book or a pillow for the flight? How much currency should I actually carry on my person?

I think I will finally relax once I am there and in the seat of a theater watching King Lear. I'll be doing what I love. I am sure I will just have a great time... we'll see if I actually USE this blog during my trip. I know we'll have Internet access at Regent's College while we're in London, but when we're in Stratsford-upon Avon or Rome, I'm not so sure...

It's just so weird, I'll be leaving behind my computer and my cell phone. Last interim in NYC I had both with me and used them daily-- I thought I was being, you know, independent, but THIS time I'll really be doing it on my own (with other STO students)-- no contact from home... *sigh*

Well... if I can, I'll keep you posted.

I take off for the airport tomorrow afternoon, and at 7pm we'll be flying!
