2 días más / 2 more days!!!

Friday, July 22nd, 2005

Solamente hay dos días más hasta que salir para Argentina!!! Me siento muy excitado, pero el viaje no siente real.

Quisiera dormir durante el vuelto, que, de Dallas a Buenos Aires, será diez y media horas. Pues, mañana, despues de trabajo, voy a escalar en el gimnasio. Y en Sabado, voy a ir de ‘wakeboarding’ muy temprano en la mañana. Sí, estoy un poquito loca! 😉

Mí vuelo sales a las 5 en la tarde. Esta noche, he confirmado mí vuelo. Un paso próximo!

There are only 2 more days till I leave for Argentina!!! I am very excited, but the trip does not feel real.

I’d like to sleep during the flight, that, from Dallas to Buenos Aires, will be 10 and a half hours. So, tomorrow, after work, I am going to climb at the gym. And on Saturday, I’m going to go wakeboarding very early in the morning. Yes, I’m a little crazy 😉

My flight leaves at 5 in the afternoon. Tonight, I had confirmed my flight. One step closer!
