Welcome to my first blog. It is now exactly one month before our departure to Connecticut! With the final touches to our presentations being prepared it is an exciting time and it is beginning to seem more "real" as the time approaches rather rapidly. I am looking forward to a great opportunity to learn, meet new friends, and experience a different culture, once I move through the major obstacle of "what to pack?". Keep an eye out for new updates and my progress through packing and the trip!
ReplyDeleteThe team are currently in the air after departing this afternoon for their trip to the states. I, however, am still in Sydney, and no I haven't missed the plane! I sustained an ankle injury playing netball last week! I will be joining the team later next week when I have been cleared to fly! One problem has been solved as I will only need to take my left shoes and therefore saving space in the suitcase!
ReplyDeleteI have received doctor's clearance and will be joining the rest of the team on Monday! Will update more on my arrival!
