I leave for Costa Rica in one week. \u00a0I would like to think that I am prepared, but I haven’t had a lot of time to think about the trip, let alone prepare for it! \u00a0I still need to pack and get mentally prepared for leaving the country. \u00a0I have traveled extensively through Europe, so I am not uneasy about traveling to foreign countries and not being able to speak a word of the language. \u00a0A friendly smile goes a long way! \u00a0I am mostly concerned with packing. \u00a0I have asked several people what type of clothes I should bring and I have a better idea of what I will need, however, there is always that fear that you will forget something or that you will under\/over pack.<\/p>\n
I am excited for the trip and I can’t wait to learn more about coffee and to get to see first hand the entire process of making coffee. \u00a0I am excited to experience a new culture and to get to eat some delicious food. \u00a0While I’m sad that I am missing Thanksgiving with my family, I am excited to have new experiences in a foreign country.<\/p>\n
