So I've arrived in Houston and am officially on my way. I figured I would just do a quick post before I enter the "unknown internet access land"...which as you all know is a very scary place for a person as plugged in as I am!
I had my goodbye party last night and got to dress up in a party skirt and heels for the last time in 6 months (definitely NOT going to miss the heels) Saying goodbye to everyone was definitely not an easy task but I just kept trying to focus on the adventures ahead.
It's amazing that only 4 hours into my trip, I have already encountered a couple travel mishaps. After about 1.5 hours of sleep, I actually almost slept through my flight altogether but managed to scramble my way to good ole' Lindbergh (thanks dad for waking me up!) Once I arrived, my bag was 7 pounds over the limit. So in the middle of the airport I was frantically throwing nail polish remover, hair spray and Ponds wipes at my dad telling him to bring them back to the car...so it looks like I might be in for 6 months with some pretty rough nails, frizzy hair and an oily face. But I suppose if that is the worst of it, I'll take it!
Ok...well my flight is being called. I got a text from my friend Amy yesterday that said in many ways, today will be the best day of my whole trip because everything still lies ahead of me. I agree wholeheartedly...
Next post from Guatemala!

Hi D!!!! Miss you already!!!! Some advice from Mom. Don't talk to strangers (pretty hard when everyone there is a stranger) watch your drink, lock your door and careful driving: It's slippery out. (Dad would have added that) Enjoy day #1! Love, Mom
Debra!
I hope that by now you are settled and enjoy your first night. I can picture you sleeping under a giant heap of those brightly color blankets that they sell on the beach in mexico, eating beans and a donkey braying somewhere in the background!
But in all honesty I hope that you are enjoying your time and savoring the awkwardness of these first few days when it will all be new! For in just a week or so you will be in your new south american routine.
Thinking of you and missing you tons!

Hey there Debra -
