Only 1.5 days ...

Wow, I can't believe that in two days I will be on a plane to Israel. I still need to put things in my suitcase (I hope everything fits!) but I've got everything I need. I've said goodbye to most of my friends and the family in Florida and NYC, but I can't believe that tonight is my last night with Mom and Belle before they go to FL and I go to Israel!

I've warned Cristen (who is going with me for the first three weeks on the dig near Haifa) that there is a real possibility of a meltdown at the airport. Of course, I'm very excited about my new adventure, but its scary to be going so far out of my comfort zone ... for such a long period of time. I'm going to miss everyone here at home so much.

Well, I should get back to packing and organizing my life ... trust me, there will be more to come ... probably once I reach Israel!
