Not that I would be asleep anyway…

It’s almost 2 am here in Iowa.  I leave for the airport in an hour or so. I’m tired. Still, I can’t sleep. It has finaly sunk in that I am going to Lao soon.  I can’t believe it! I have wanted to visit ever since I was a child.

Saying goodbye to my family was also a lot more difficult that I thought it would be. My mother started to cry when the time for me to leave came. She thinks a snake is going to bite and kill me as soon as I step of the plane. Moms will be moms, I guess.

My head is filled with wonder about what Lao will be like.  What is the guesthouse like?  How are the professors? Will I die from heat (Sorry if you’re reading this mom)?  I’m too impatient. For now, I will imagine that it’s just a resort and be content.

Well I should get back to  ripping dvds to my laptop for the plane ride.  See everyone in Lao.
