1 Day Before My Adventure Begins!

Yesterday we had our final meeting before our departure! It was really exciting to see all of my fellow Belize goers and talk about our future adventures! At the meeting, we distributed the many school supplies that some of the local schools and parents in Wilmington so graciously donated so that we can bring to the schools in Belize. 

School Supplies for Teachers/Students in Belize!

My Parents live on the lake- traveling
from one paradise to another :) 

After the meeting I drove to my parents' house in Lexington, NC to do a little visiting before flying out tomorrow morning. Bailey and I will be flying out together around 7:30 a.m. from the Charlotte airport. I am super excited about getting to Belize midday tomorrow; however, this means I will be waking up around 3:30 a.m. tomorrow which I am not too thrilled about.

Any room for Doodle? 

 My trip to San Pedro, Belize will be my first time out of the country and my first time through an airport! I have been on a small 2-3 person plane before with my boyfriend but that really has been the extent of my flying history. 

For those of you who have known me for many years, you know that I am an extreme planner and stickler for things going as planned/on time. For those of you who have been to Belize or have done a little research, you know that many people in Belize work on "Belize time" and are some of the most relaxed people ever! I am really looking forward to meeting new people and hopefully learning to relax a little while just enjoying a day at a time. I am also excited about getting into the schools and seeing how other teachers "do their thing." My nervousness about airport procedures are currently overriding any worries I may have about being in another country for the first time! Wish me luck and the next time I post I will be in Belizeeeeeee!
