Only 2 more weeks

Now I am only 2 and a half weeks out.  I have been trying to gather gifts for host families and students.  I am also finalizing my packing list to make sure I have everything I need.  I have started counting the days.  As my student teaching work finishes up, I am beginning to feel more at ease.  Now that I have more behind me, I can get more excited about the trip.  Hotels have been booked for our weekend travel.  We are going to Fussen for one night to see the castles and hike in the Alps, and then Munich for 2 nights to visit tourist attractions there.  I am even excited about riding in trains.  I will write again when it is closer to fly time.
