All of my friends and family keep asking &#8220;Are you excited?!&#8221; I am excited but I really can&#8217;t get too excited until I handle all of my pre &#8211; trip business.<\/p>\n<p>Missing Thanksgiving is a huge part of this trip and I do not know how I am going to handle my first time not being with my family.\u00a0 My mother and grandmother are so sad. But I have been cheering them up by saying, &#8220;I&#8217;ll be home for Christmas though!&#8221; And don&#8217;t even let me get started on packing. I still do not know what to expect!
