And I'm off

The day has finally come. I've got all my Euros and my giant pack all checked in and I'm just waiting on my plane. All those months of prep for a day that felt like it would never be here, and now here it is. This time tomorrow I will be in beautiful Madrid, eating tapas with all the other crazies who decided a trip like this was a good idea, and watching flemenco dancing! How exciting my life has become. Thank you to all of you for all your support, prayers, well wishes, and help to get to this place. I would have never had the courage to embark on a journey like this without all of your support (and even those who aren't so sure that what I'm doing is a good idea, you've encouraged me to prove you wrong!). I love you all deeply and will miss you all more than I can imagine I'm sure. So...please continue to keep me in your prayers, send good thoughts to me and keep faith that the universe will protect me in order to carry out all the wonderful adventures I am planning for this phase in my life.
