I got my packet from Contiki the other day! But, just today did I get the time to read through it. I bookmarked the pages in the travel guide for the cities and countries we're going to and I highlighted some of the suggested places to visit in free time. The more we talk about it, the more excited I get!
Tomorrow will mark 2 weeks before we leave for London! I'm counting down the days!
On a side note: my foot is way better. I'm done wrapping it, and it hasn't given me any trouble yet! :D

There are now 11 people in the facebook group, and I'm waiting to hear back on how to find 2 more from the Contiki website! :) The closer we get, the more excited I am to meet all these people.
One girl has left already for one of her tours, a few others will leave soon to start their trip. I can't believe we have only 17 days until the plane ride to England.
I'm now in Florida working at Pyrospot Fireworks where I've spent most of my Summers and Christmas vacations over the last 4 years. It's a lot of fun once we get busy, but until then it's a lot of sitting around reading, talking and thinking.
My foot is a lot better than it was last time I posted. I am now able to walk normally, but I still keep it wrapped for good measure. Hopefully soon I'll be able to stop wrapping it too!
Last night Dad & I checked on sim cards for my phone so I'd have something for emergencies while I'm traveling. I don't much care for it, seeing as I won't use it much (if at all!) but since he says I need it, then I'm game. I'm so thankful for everything he and Melanie have done for me so far, this is going to be an incredible experience that I'll remember forever.
I got a really cute pair of walking sandals. I'll be taking them with me to wear with nicer outfits. I tried on both pair of shoes Dad ordered before, neither of them worked, so we sent them back to hopefully find something else that does work.
While we were out shopping for shoes we stopped at the currency exchange place and I got 60 British Pounds and 60 Euros so I won't have to worry about exchanging money right after I get off the plane in London. Awesome!!

The group on Facebook is now 9 people, so that is really exciting! I can't wait to finally meet all these people, and I've also learned that the whole trip is full, meaning we have 50 people going! The more I talk about it, the more excited I get.
Dad ordered my shoes for the trip, great walking shoes apparently. I'll get to see them on Saturday when I get to Florida. I had to pack up from my dorm room and go to Mom's today, so hopefully I didn't forget anything important!! I grabbed my passport, and ID as well as my 2 cameras and chargers. I'm getting a Kindle on Friday, and I'm sooo excited! I'll have something to keep me busy while on the plane/train/bus while on the trip!
Two weeks ago I hurt my foot at work, I came down on it wrong while goofing off with Randi and Charity, but since I was working the whole 2 weeks I didn't have time to get it checked out. I went this past Monday to the athletic training room on campus and Flick (who is amazing by the way) has me doing a hot soak, a few exercises, a few stretches and a good tape job daily and he said by the time all the tape he gave me is gone I should be all healed up. Apparently it's the tendon that I pulled on the outside of my left foot. No fun! But it's getting better and should be 100% by the time I leave for the trip, thank goodness!!
