Getting Closer!

So today is May 10 which means we leave for china in exactly 1 month and 15 days. My prayer was answered because our trip does not start until the 25th of June which is one day after the young adults journey. Yay! This also means I will get back and have a week to recover before my journey. I know I said I was going to learn some Chinese before I go...but not gonna lie, thats probably not gonna happen! But I have been taking care of some of the details. I have my passport, the supplication for my visa is in, I have enough money for food and tipping and some extra saved and I convinced my mom to let me bring her iPad with me. This trip is slowly becoming more real to me. I am very excited even though We did find out that our trip was changed: we are no longer going to Xi'an but our stay has been extended a day. Soon we will begin with the minor minor details like packing class, exchanging money, getting back packs etc. but for now all there's to do is wait!
