And I'm Gone...

I can't believe that it is finally time for me to leave. I have been anticipating this for almost 6 months and the time is finally here! I have been struggling packing and trying to make weight and still get all I need. I really wish I could just pack up Roscoe (my truck) with all my crap and drive it to Istanbul instead of paying the airline for an extra bag for a five month trip. I am nervous about the trip but really more excited. I am pumped and excited for this to start after ridiculously long plane ride. I will probably be posting pictures in the next couple of days.
