the trip becomes real

I love that feeling when you can tell a trip is really going to happen. That's the feeling I got tonight. I have been signed up for a month in Santiago, Chile for a year now, but the way residency goes, we kinda live month to month. So after sleeping the day away after my night shift, I woke up and it hit me, "Im leaving the country in a couple of days!" I will say, its hard to beat the excitement of the unknown. Yes, it can be scary but knowing nothing about the area you are about to embark on definitely brings a sense of romance and anticipation (dont worry everyone Im not going to chile to look for romance lol! ...although i wont run away from it either :-)

anyhow, the trip is only a couple of days away, Jennifer and I will be spending the month together and the residents who came to UAB this past fall are back in Santiago and it will be so fun to see them. This is my first blog and I am by no means a pro - I will try not to ramble all too much but I really want to keep all my loved ones updated on the adventures. Jennifer and I will be making regular posts and keeping yall up on our month in Santiago.
