This trip will be my first time leaving the country (excluding the times of crossing over the border into Canada as an infant). I am not so much as nervous about the actual flight than I am about how long we are supposed to be on the flight. 9 hours. Being a detail oriented person, it’s sometimes hard for me to step back and see the big picture until everything is taken care of. What I am worried about are the little<\/em> details that are probably not the top concerns for people who are flying out of the country. This is what is running through my mind right now:<\/p>\n

1. I really, really, really hope that nobody next to me snores (or is a mouth breather). This overnight flight thing is new to me, and I don’t think strangers will be accepting of my usual pillow-to-face attempts to get people to stop.<\/p>\n

2. Should I bring my sour patch kids or my jolly rancher candy bites onto my carry-on? The jolly rancher bites are heavier, so I will probably put them in my suitcase, but they are resealable, an excellent marketing strategy that did influence my decision on buying them.<\/p>\n

3. I’m trying to gage about how much time I will need tomorrow before we leave to be completely \u00a0ready to go, without thinking of more things I need to pack.<\/p>\n

4. My main stressor on what to pack has been the shoe dilemma. How many is too many?<\/p>\n

5. Will my aerosol cans combust on the plane? (I really need to find a definite answer for this before tomorrow.)<\/p>\n

6. I hope the language barrier isn’t that big of a deal. The last time I was in a Spanish class was my sophomore year of high school (5 years ago). I remember the important things, like “bathroom,” “water,” and “French fries,” so I am basically set, right?<\/p>\n

I know none of these things will matter once I’m in the city of Montevideo on Saturday morning, eager to embark on this new journey. I have heard so many great things about this trip and just Uruguay in general, and I am so thankful for this opportunity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
