Hi friends and family!
I'm here in Canterbury, awaiting 2:00am when Laura (my best friend from High School with whom I am going to Costa Rica) will arrive and we'll head to the airport!
Things I have to do before now and then -
*Get out of my pajamas
*Figure out how to strap my sleeping bag onto my backpack securely
*Turn off my cell phone, leave it on my desk and accept the fact that I will not be making or receiving any calls or texts for the next 3.5 months
* Wrestle with my suitcase until it agrees to be zipped shut and weigh it one more time to make sure those batteries I just added didn't bump it over 50 lbs.
*Say goodbye to eight adorable puppies and their mom, Kali
*Remember how to speak Spanish
I'm fairly confident that the suitcase will be the easiest of these tasks.
Now I have exactly 1 hour and 6 minutes to go so I'll leave it at this for now. I'll be writing as often as I can manage with limited internet access. Feel free to email me at htirrellwysocki@clarku.edu but no promises on a hasty response!
Oh! I have a mailing address where letters (but NO packages) can be sent, if anyone feels so inclined.

OK, less than an hour.
Goodbye snowy New Hampshire, hello sunshine!

Hi Hannah: Kent told us about the blog at yesterday's staff meeting. I am most excited for the both of you. What an amazing experience. I will check in now and then to see how things are progressing. I guess my Valentine's card will be traveling just a tad further than usual this year. If it is OK, I will send Laura's to your address since I do not know what her address is. Love Brenda
