Packing for the Sea

Today I started to gather the crazy amount of stuff I need for the trip. It varied from a new toothbrush, to a huge folding luggage bag, to disposable camera, and the list almost seemed endless. I can't believe that it is only 3 and 1/2 weeks till this amazing trip begins to start. I finally received confirmations on the field programs I chose for the trip. Here they are:

1. Cambodia: Phnom Penh & Angkor Wat - Group A
	2. Dalit Village Overnight
	3. Feria de la Virgen de la Luz - Tarifa
	4. Marrakech & Camel Trek in the Sahara - 4 Days
	5. One-Day Safari: Aquilla Game Reserve
	6. Spanish Coastlines: Beaches to Gibraltar Group B

Yes, it is a lot of field programs but I tried to space them out besides Spain, which I thought it would be a good idea to meet some other people on the ship while doing them. Thankfully, part of my aid money helps me pay for these. Also, I have one Indy trip confirmed, the China trip which travels from Hong Kong to Beijing to the Great Wall to Shanghai. This whole thing is gonna be awesome!! I noticed a couple of days ago that SAS is hosting a departing party thing for people in San Diego. I'm definitely going and my mom and brother might join as well. Actually, this whole process of going to SAS had made my brother consider going as well rather than going to Cambridge in England next year. Finished summer school and now just finishing my work in the lab I'm in. It's very sad that the lab is closing before I come back. My time working there has been unspeakably awesome. Now counting the days for the trip more than I am counting the days til I'm 21.
