Last Day in the USA

I apologize that it has been a while since I posted last, but hopefully that will change soon.  Needless to say, it has been a busy summer.

Last week, I got called to Orlando to pick up my visa from the consulate.  After the mountain of paperwork it took to apply, the painless process was a bit of a let down.  All it took were a couple signatures and my thumbprint.  

After getting my visa, my travel agent booked my flights, as well.  I leave tomorrow, the 21st, and I connect through Atlanta on my way to Santiago! It's a long flight, about nine hours, so I hope I will be able to sleep.  

Meanwhile, I've been lying on the floor avoiding responsibility attempting to pack.  Fitting things in the suitcase is the easy part.  The hard part is making sure its under the weight limit!  Of course, my newly acquired winter clothing is not of much assistance in that department.  I made a super-detailed list, so that is definitely helpful.  

Once I arrive in Chile, I will post as soon as I can, and certainly more often than I have thus far.  Stay up-to-date here or on my facebook page.  Adios and hasta luego!
