So I leave for Sevilla in t-minus 2 days. There remains quite a lot to be done, including packing my life into two suitcases WITH room to spare so I can bring stuff back. Frick. This will not bode well for this girl, who changes outfits at least once a day. More updates to come.
So the itinerary for Tuesday is (and I'm leaving Tuesday night the 1st because Denver fails and has no flights closer to our 3pm check-in on the 2nd in NY): depart DIA at 12:35 am, fly into NY at 6:30 am on the 2nd, claim luggage that weighs more than I, groggily chill in JFK for 9 hours with luggage that weighs more than I, and check in for Iberia flight at 3 pm. Only upside of this horrid sched is that I get to see my Gabbi! If anyone else is around JFK and feels like visiting me between the hours of 7 and 11 am, please do let me know. :0)
From there we leave for Madrid, flying for approx. 8 hours plus the six hour time difference from NY, arrive in Madrid in the early morning on the 3rd, then catch our connecting flight to Sevilla where we are swiftly picked up by our homestay families (and meet them for the first time). It's a good thing I'm so excited, because those 36 hours may just kill me. The game plan: I will be fuelled solely by Emergen-C, Audrey Hepburn movies, and Ambien-induced transatlantic nap seshes.
Anyways, I honestly cannot express how excited I am to be going. I was reading my uber-touristy pre-Sevilla guidebook the other day and get this: they have a tea bar/dance club. I was born to go here.
I absolutely adore you all, and hope that you have a fabulous fall quarter/semester/study abroad experience this autumn! See you in the winter!
Oh, look me up on skype too: katielynne18
