It is the night before our big adventure and I (Sara) can't sleep. I believe this is partly due to the fact that I work night shift and am used to being busy at night, but also I always have trouble sleeping before a big trip.
The final few days have not been too stressful which surprised me a lot. Usually I am running around trying to do everything at the last minute, but Julius likes to have stuff done early. We moved out of our apartment in Ballard two weeks ago and finished working last week. We even had our suitcase packed by Saturday! After driving around to say goodbye to as many people as we could in the last few days, we didn't have much to do. I had my hair cut and dyed back to brown then spent this afternoon and evening programming my iPod. We are not taking a laptop with us so I wanted a good selection. It will have to be my soundtrack for the next 8 months.
I hope we don't forget any glaring detail. It is like in college when you have your paper done a week ahead of time. We must have forgotten something!
Our plane leaves tomorrow at 1855 to Stockholm Sweden via Copenhagen. We will be taking a bus from there to Karlstad to stay with my old exchange student Mathias and his kids Hanna, Gustav and Johan
