It's just after 3am and I'm getting the last things ready before I leave.

I woke up to find Madison is awake and waiting for me - she wants to make sure she kisses me goodbye. What a sweetie

A last minute text to Angela - maybe we should leave a little earlier, just in case?

Looking for my things - checking off the list - knowing I'm bound to forget something. Passport? Got it!

A last minute check of my email to see if anything has changed or any last minute emails from my host families.

And I am away. Hard to believe that by this time tomorrow I'll be landing in Germany.
