The Countdown

Hey all! It's t-minus 5 days until departure, and per suggestion of my good friend Leah I decided to start a travel blog for all of you interested in the antics of one very excited and terrified American college student in Spain.  I've never been abroad so this is going to be an extremely interesting ride, and I'm looking forward to sharing it with anyone who wants to follow me on my adventures (virtually, of course).  Not only will I be gone for five weeks, but I will be doing so on my own and living with a host family...this means total cultural immersion.  Yet another terrifying concept.  Longer (and I assure you, more interesting) posts will follow once I land and get settled in Alicante, Spain.  Until then, keep calm and count it down!
