getting ready to take off

so this is the beginning of my euro adventure. im not really sure what is waiting for me on the other side of the world but i hope to keep this blog updated as much as possible. i should be in Dublin in less than 2 days, hopefully drinking a tall glass of Guinness very soon. i've got my passport, backpack, and some shoes. now i have to get some sleep before the 12 hour flight. good night.
