Waiting for the adventure to begin!

Here we are in the international terminal waiting to get onto our flight in Chicago. Shana and I are people watching the many people from all over the world and it already seems like we're in a foreign country. 

This experience will be so life changing and I'm so thankful for my husband for letting me go. Despite my anxiety, I'm thankful I let myself come on this trip! I hope most of all to just share an amazing experience with three of my best friends. And I hope to do what I love, learn about another culture. I know this trip will be something I'll never forget. It's almost like a last hurrah for me before I feel like I become an adult. 

Peace, love, and elephants
