One month to go!

I never actually mentioned that I was going to Jordan in my last post. I guess I just figured everybody knew. . . anyways, yes I am going to Jordan (yes, the country). :) And yes, I am crazy.

So now that I am home, I have received both my plane tickets and my visa. I was a bit worried that my passport would disapear in the mail but it made it. The stamp is really cool even though I don't know what it says because it is all in Arabic! I have sooo much to do to get ready to go now. I have to figure out exactly what I can and can't wear and then figure out how I am going to carry all of my stuff. Does it count if I can wheel my luggage but not carry it? Cause I'd only get about a backpack full of stuff if they expect me to actually carry it. Although if I am wheeling it in a desert it might not wheel well through the sand. . . oh goodness.

Anyways, it is good to be home and hopefully I will be able to relax a bit before I go on my crazy travels.

No turning back now. . .

I am officially opening up my blog today. I just purchased my airfare, so I have to go now. It was quite an ordeal because when I went to purchase it yesterday, the website was broken! It kept telling me that the flight I wanted was sold out. This wouldn't be so bad but I have to arrive between 8am and 8pm on the 30th of January and for some odd reason every other flight I found happens to arrive after 8pm. I think that Jordanians must be nocturnal because there is no other way to explain it. Anyways, the website was working again today so I got the flight I wanted. I arrive in Amman on AirFrance at 7:05pm. I guess I have to go now. . .
