It begins...

I am preparing to leave tomorrow for a destination of 130 degree weather and high humidity. My cheetah-print scarf is packed so I'm ready to go! I'll be leaving behind some great friends and a worried family for a four month long Arabian adventure. I'm looking forward to the camels, the sand and the scarves, but I'm nervous about many things as well. I'm excited to go into this experience with unanswered questions, and return knowing things I never expected to learn. Khudafis Austin, Texas!
