OK, so what I said last week about it feeling "more real" after I finished work on Friday was true. The last week at work went very slowly, and every few minutes I found (and still do) myself thinking about the trip. Now that there are only 4 days to go, and I've said goodbye to work, youth group, church groups etc etc, I think the heat is rising. There's nothing in between now and leaving on Thursday, save for sorting my stuff out and breathing deeply...
