Up Up and AWAY!!!

It's only a few days till lift off, and the excitement is continually building. This will be my first (but hopefully not last) time to leave the country and visit another. Again, the excitement is building and words escape me. There is no way to fully explain what I am expecting out of this trip because I know any expectations I have will be blown out of the water after the first day. I expect to see and experience things I have never before, but defining it beyond that is useless. I will be wordier once the journey begins and my experiences can be reflected on, but until than I will leave you with the simple fact that this trip is going to be AMAZING!!! See everyone in Germany soon!!!
