Wednesday September 4/Thursday September 5
Packing was suspiciously easy this time around, although I constantly worried I was
spending too much on new clothes, send ahead gifts and the like. The three weeks leading up to this trip made leaving all the
more enjoyable. I felt like I’d be ready to make some big decisions about my life when I returned.
The amount of money
I spent ahead of time was disgusting. I didn’t keep track, and I wonder all of the gifts, clothes and accessories I spent my
cash on was really worth it. It kept me busy ahead of the trip.
As always, Andy came by to pick me up. I opted for
something different than the M&M this time. We ended up with a decent breakfast at Elmer’s beforehand, chatting about my
eating experiences overseas.
