Today is the Day!

Hello everyone!
Today is the day that I start my travels to Brazil! I'm actually already en-route as I write this. I'm sitting in an airport on my first layover with an hour until my next flight leaves.

I still can't believe that this is actually happening! I can't wait to see Isadora again and to see her parents. I can't wait to see this beautiful country that I'm going to!

This whole year has been going by so fast. I'm hoping that my month in Brazil won't go by quite as quickly. I want to absorb the culture and the language. I want to savor my time there doing nothing except relaxing and having fun.

Apparently Isadora's parents are planning lots of different things for us to do. Places to travel. I was prepared to spend the entire thirty days sitting in their little beach side town, so knowing that we are going to be doing other stuff is exciting! Hopefully I packed enough. I should have.

Anyway, sorry it's been so long since I posted. Maybe my blog will become more regular while I'm gone and I have more stuff to update you about. I hope that you are all doing well!

Are any of you taking part in Camp NaNoWriMo this month? You should let me know! I'm taking part, but with a fairly small word count goal of 15,000. I have already written about 12,000 words of that, but I was finishing up the last few chapters of a story. For now, I'm going to be planning a lot while I am abroad and hopefully the places I see will provide lots of inspiration for me!

See you soon,
Helen.
