Tomorrow is the big day! KK and EmEm will embark on their big adventure! I just finished packing, and I am ready to jet off. I have a small carry on duffel bag, a purse, and a suitcase to be checked. Everything is well under the weight limits so I am very thankful that I'm able to bring everything I need... including my hair straightener! I have packed all of my clothes so I'm sitting here writing in my sleep wear... (you're wondering if I sleep naked aren't you?!?! I don't. Usually anyways.) I am soooo excited and I know KK is too because for once we are getting along! We are just too happy to fight over small things. I'm a little worried about getting sick over seas since I have a shamefully weak immune system. So, if you pray, I'm asking for prayers for our health and safety.
I am really looking forward to wearing my brand new eye mask on the plane. Just putting it on almost knocks me right out! It is so comfortable and blocks out all the light, and it even comes with ear plugs! Now that's a good deal! Maybe I'll even let KK borrow it for a little nap.
Well, so far, we are sufficiently popular with the Chileans! We have been invited to 2 birthday parties of Gabi's friends, so we are packing our dancing shoes and party hats.
We get home August 12, and school starts for us on August... 26 I believe (we're going to the same college). I am trying to remember if there is anything I need to do before then, but I don't think there is! I am leaving all worries behind in Minneapolis!
Well gang, I know this post was pretty pointless. All you really need to know is that we're outta here tomorrow morning. Our plane takes off for Chicago at 10:10, then we're stopping in Atlanta, flying from Atlanta to Argentina, and straight away from Argentina to Chile. We'll be in Chile for a week and then it's back to Argentina for 2 weeks! Then home again home again. It's kind of a bizarre and confusing flight schedule but I'm hoping and praying that it all works out and everything goes smoothly. I packed enough in my carry-on bag for about a week, just in case they lose our luggage.
Oh! And I went to Target today and bought just about one of everything in the travel section. I got a mini first aid kid, and travel sized tums, midol, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, face wash, nail polish remover (be quiet... it's necessary), etc. I also got a nice looking pair of jeans for only $5! Someone gave me a Target gift card for graduation and there was no better time to spend it!
Alright well I'm outta here. I am really really impressed if you read this whole post without falling asleep. Talk to you soon... from Chile!
Love, EmEm

hey ladies!
I wanted to wish you luck on your glorious adventure to foreign lands. I realized as you two were leaving that it was the last time we'd hang out in awhile, so imagine a hug/wink from me. also, I read the entire post without falling asleep (do I get a prize?!). a mini bottle of nail polish could be useful in many situations...just don't pass out from the fumes. the sleep mask sounds like a smart buy. good luck and have fun! we should skype eachother at some point!
