For the entire semester it seemed that this time was so far off, but now it’s suddenly here out of nowhere! I put off a lot of my packing, but I’m really not bringing as much as I thought I would be. This surely means that I am forgetting something, so I can’t wait to get to the hotel and figure out what.
As someone who gets motion sickness, I’m really not stoked for this ten hour flight. I’m hoping to cop a window seat and just sleep the entire time to be fully rested for when we land. The furthest I have flown is Mexico, so this will certainly be a new experience for me. I’m always ready for that airline food though.
One thing I hope to get a lot of in Chile is different foods. Latin American food is common within my family, but I hope to experience some things that I have never seen before. Similarly, I’m excited to compare and contrast the Chilean culture to what I’ve experienced with my family and in Mexico. The potential learning that can go on this week is limitless. Although I’m nervous about getting sick or lost, I’m sure that this trip will be a great success for all of us.
