Preparation

Hello everyone! I am very excited and getting ready to leave this Saturday!! My flight is at 4:30pm but I think we will probably be leaving around 11:30am to go get brunch or something. I had my VISA appointment on Monday and it went alright, except, I was sooo nervous that when the guy asked me to sign my name at the bottom of the document, I couldn't read french anymore and signed the wrong line!! And then he saw where I had signed and said, "you know, it says "signature" right here," and he pointed to a box that said "signature." I was sooo embarassed!! Anyway, besides that, I got my visa, took about 45 minutes and then that was all set! I have gone shopping for certain appliances like my converter and adapter, lots of batteries (for my camera), digital memory (for my digital videocam), and other probably unnecessary items. I have been trying to see everyone before I leave and have had two "bon voyage" parties, one for each side of my family. I cannot wait until Saturday, but I still need to make a list of things!!
