I am very excited to get to London after waiting for this trip for so long. When I applied, it seemed so far away, but the time really flew by and now we are waiting in the airport to leave. I have never been out of the country, so this is a new experience for me. I’ve been to many different places but always in the country, so I have never been exposed to a culture that has many differences from mine. I am eager to learn about a different culture and it’s history. The most exciting part for me is to finally get there and start exploring a new city. I can’t wait to go to local stores and restaurants and see how they differ from the US. The site that is most intriguing to me is Stonehenge, I am very excited to get up close to really understand how large the scale of the site is. I am also eager for Stourhead and Kew gardens because I got a new camera for Christmas that I have excited to really test out. Every place on our itinerary is somewhere that I have only read about and seen pictures of and I can’t wait to experience them for myself.
