6 Days To Go...

Here it is 6 days out until my departure for Paris and I've decided to start a blog about my adventures and travels abroad.  This is my first ever blog and I plan on updating it fairly often (I hope)!  It's my last full weekend here in Texas and I have yet to start packing...ahhh! I have, however, made quite an extensive list of the things I do need to pack, so that's better than nothing, eh?  My mom has off work all next week and we'll be running around trying to get everything in order.  I've already bought my plug converters, since the outlets are different in Europe, which are of the utmost importance for plugging in my blow dryer, chi hair flat iron, etc. hahaha!  I've also secured a place in my luggage for some mace that I will be carrying with me in my purse at all times, in case anyone tries to mess with me...YES people I have seen the movie "Taken!"

I should also warn you that this blog my not follow any particualar format because I'll probably just write what pops into my head at the moment.

I'm glad I will be here for Thanksgiving to celebrate with my family before I head out.  I will be gone over Christmas though.  The family I'm staying with when I first get to Pars is having a Christmas feast at their house so I have been assured I will not be spending Christmas alone!  Soon after, my good friend from high school and college, Lauren, will be paying me a visit and spending through New Years with me in Paris!  A pretty fabulous way to ring in 2010, in my opinion!

I don't really have any set plans while living in Paris over the next 6 months...it's more of just a learning experience, seeing what it's like to live in another part of the World, and meetig new people!

I shall now leave you with a quote:  "The World is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page."
