With 40 days left to go before I leave NJ, it seems as though my to do list is getting longer and my bank account is shrinking even before I leave for the trip. (I really wish it was the other way around though, to do list shrinking and my bank account growing.)
In preparation for the trip, I've gotten all of my shots (more then I've ever had in my life), purchased my back pack (75L worth), put a map of the world on my bedroom wall (to study before I leave and then bring it with me), bought a new waterproof camera, selected my pre-sale trips and started to load baskets with what needs to be packed. I've made all of the necessary appointments (drs, dentists and hair cut) and am counting down to them as well, (only because it means that I'm getting that much closer to the trip!) :)
While I get more and more excited everyday about the trip, I'm starting to get a little worried - as I usually do before I begin a new adventure, that something is going to go wrong that will prevent me from going on the trip. I don't have any idea what could do that, so I'm just trying to plan for everything.

Feeling: Nervous & Excited
I guess you could say I'm a bit nervous, not about the trip though - nervous that something is going to go wrong and I won't end up going on the trip. Which would really suck, considering all of the preparations I have gone through thus far to get ready for the trip (loans, forms, and of course shots! Ouch!). Anyway, aside from the nervousness, I am really really really excited about this trip around the world and can't wait to get started already! :)
