Okay, folks...So I should be a good little traveler and attempt to start packing up my suitcases because I leave in a few, well actually 4 days! I really didn't think it would be too difficult putting everything I need in a couple suitcases, but that is turning out to be quite wrong. I think that maybe I'm so reluctant to pack just because I only moved home from Oxford about 3 days ago. I'm just not feeling the whole "let's unpack only pack everything up again" thing. But it has to be done and everyone can be my witness when I say I will be all packed by Thursday (I'm giving myself till 11:59 that day).

So I officially leave Saturday (8/21) for Belize. I was lucky enough to get a flight out of Cincinnati at 6am! My house has been somewhat divided about this departure time because my Dad and I believe that I'll be fine if I leave for the airport around 330am and get there around 4. My Mom and brother, on the other hand, feel as though I need to get to the airport around 3am. Not many people are going to be traveling at 4am, so I'm not too concerned about that. When we flew to Europe, it only took us about 45 minutes to check-in luggage and go through security and this was at like 6 o'clock at night. We're just going to have to see how this turns out...

Anyway, I leave Cincinnati at 6am and arrive in Dallas at 720am (their time). My flight to Belize City doesn't leave until around 1230, so I'll have plenty of time to wander throughout the airport and grab some food. I'll have my laptop so I'll probably just find a spot on the wall and curl up (as much as I can) and watch movies or read. It'll be weird traveling by myself, but at least I'll be meeting up with everyone else in Dallas. I'll just be there really early. I've never been to Texas before, so now I'll be able to say I've been. I mean, how much different could the sate of Texas be than the airport!? Haha.

Well once again, I must return to packing. I'm usually one to be all set, days in advanced, but I'm just not feeling this. Wish me luck!
