so it begins....

Well here goes my first blog entry ever..... No I am not in Cuba yet, It’ll be another few days yet, but I officially leave the States tomorrow morning at 7am! I’m flying from Denver to Cancun, then I leave Cancun the following day for Jose Marti airport in Havana Cuba! While all of fogs my mind with fantastic daydreams I’m forced to pull myself back to reality.... I have to pack! In typical Kerry fashion, I have waited until the day before I leave to do any packing; and also in Kerry fashion I seem to want to pack everything I own. So far I have my large suitcase filled to almost exactly 50 pounds (the limit), my carry-on suitcase, and a small day-pack. At least I’m pretty sure I won’t be lacking much, I mean it IS 3+ months! And I have gifts for my host family in there!

Well anyways, my head is continually racing trying to make sure I don’t forget anything, although I almost undoubtedly will! And if stressing about packing isn’t enough, I now have to go and finish off my applications for summer internships! When will I learn that procrastination isn’t the answer? (I imagine I never will.)

While in Cuba, I will only have internet access while I’m at school. I will try to update this blog regularly (my goal is once or twice a week), but it will be limited based on my access. With that in mind, while I’m sure that many of you (especially my mom) will be waiting to hear that I have made it safely and easily to Cuba, we don’t start school until Monday of next week, which means that I will not have internet access until then!

While I’m dreadfully missing all of mis amigos at LC, and I’ll be sad to say goodbye to the padres and the puppies, I am most certainly ready for this adventure to begin.

hasta luego,
