Lindsay and Ryan Do the World 2008/09

Holy crap. Its here.  Its 1240am and I’m not tired at all!  I just finished packing some last minute things.  I think I have everything. I hope I have everything. 🙂

I had dinner with my aunt, mom and sister tonight and had to say bye to Ash.  That was a tad sad.  My mom is driving us to the Hamilton airport tomorrow.  I don’t think I am going to let her come into the airport with us.  Too sad. 🙁

I get to see my brother in less than 24 hours!!  I can’t wait for that.  I’m not even that excited for the rest of the trip right now because I just want to see John.

I will write again when we get to use an internet again.  Who knows when that will be.  Probably not till we get to FIJI! OMG. FIJI. lol November 9.

Our going away party is tonight at the Collins.  Quite a few people are supposed to show up so we are really looking forward to it.

This afternoon, I was going to do a practice pack…I just wanted to write and say that I laid out all the stuff that I want to bring and it was quite overwhelming! I thought no way all that stuff is going to fit in this tiny bag, but it DID!! My mom helped me roll all the clothes and it made so much more room, less wrinkles too!  I am sooo happy I don’t need to buy another bag! lol.  Its pretty tight and I could and probably will remove some stuff but at least it  zips up.

We leave in 5 days!!!  Ryan’s last day of work was on Friday.  He seemed very happy to be done.

I was making a map of our route for our party so everyone has a better idea of where we are going….I was looking at it and I couldn’t believe how far we are going! I can’t even explain the feeling.  I have wanted this for as long as I can remember and its finally happening. 🙂

I will write again in a few days before we leave! omg.
