19 days to go...

Today I finally found out my actual day I am leaving.
After all the stress of sorting out my visa, 1 week before I was supposed to go I received the news that I would be delayed for anywhere between 2 or 3 weeks. It was even more frustrating that what was done was out of my control. Needless to say I was really gutted. I was all ready to go but I then I was forced to wait and no one was really sure what was going on! So after telling everyone I was delayed now I finally have a date.
8th of September.
The day I finally leave. Its hard to comprehend living in another country for 5 months. I have a really weird feeling, a mix of excitement, anticipation, nervousness and a bit of anxiety. Tomorrow I should have been leaving, and to tell you the truth I was ready to leave. I felt like I had prepared myself and had finally felt ready to leave. Now I am just wandering aimlessly trying to focus but all I can think about is Argentina!
My host family are lovely. There Spanish emails are so welcoming and kind, I can't wait to meet them :)
I have recently been talking to a some of the cousins and friends of the family and they are all so excited to meet me, one of the cousins said 'we already have some friends organizing to hang out with you!' Haha

Another bombshell has dropped, I only am allowed 20kgs of Luggage! 3 kilos less than I thought I had... I have no idea how much of things to pack or what to take, but I guess I need to start planning now! How do you even pack for 5 months?

Sorry for the all over the place post but it was my first! I hope they get a bit more interesting!
Adios :)
