It's The Final Countdown
So it's the night before we leave and I can't really wrap my mind around the fact that it's finally here. We planned this whole trip out soooooo long ago that it never really seemed real and sort of still doesn't.
Quick recap: We will get to MSP airport around 2pm and take off at 4pm for Chicago. We will fly out of Chicago to Taiwan at 12am. Then we will fly from Taiwan at 6am Tuesday morning (time changes are insane) and finally land in Bangkok at 11am on Tuesday January 2. Check out the map below.
Today was kind of a rough day for me. We did our last tanning session yesterday and I burned myself in a bunch of spots because I'm an idiot. I didn't sleep well last night because of that (like 4 hours of sleep). We drove up to Alexandria to visit Lacey's mom's family which was great buuuuut we had to drop off our cat, Loki. Lacey's mom is doing us a huge favor and is cat-sitting him while we're gone. Loki is our little cat baby so it was kind of devastating to drop him off and say goodbye. He's neurotic and weird and can be annoying but he's our cat and it isn't the same sitting at our apartment without him.
On the drive back home, we ran into a really bad traffic jam on 94. Both of us were very tired but we had a few more things to get (more books, travel towel, etc.). It was a struggle but we got it all done. We're washing clothes now and will do our initial packing tonight before bed. Tomorrow we'll drop our cars off at my work and then head out!
Just a note to any family/friends who are reading the blog. Sorry if it's boring! Haha. I did a similar blog while I was in Europe in college and that blog means the world to me. I'm trying to do something similar again on the adventures that Lacey and I take.
