Preparing To Depart

Well it's down to 10 days. Really quite nervous right now, but super excited!!! Still have a lot to do, haven't quite started to think much about packing, besides the fact that I will probably take two suitcases :P. My last days are packed with working, writing papers, calling my bank and credit card companies, finding good shoes, searching for the perfect messenger bag (or at least a good one), and dividing the rest of my time between family and friends.
