A rain jacket, James Joyce's The Dubliners, and hundreds of socks: I think I'm ready to go.
I leave tomorrow afternoon, from Greensboro, through Phildelphia, to Dublin, where I'll be for orientation until Friday. Then Cork!
I'm so excited, but very very nervous at the same time. You have no idea how long it took for me to decide what to wear on the plane. But I'm ready to explore, and be independent, and meet new people, and get out of the NC heat!
I need to get to bed, so this will be short. But please do pray for me! I'm going to be out of the comfort bubble of good Christian fellowship and support with which I've been blessed my entire life, so please pray that I will meet other Christians, and that I'll rely more fully on God than on others, which I tend to do.
Pray also for safety, and my nerves. :)
I will leave you with a few burning questions about my trip...
Will I be able to understand the Irish accent?
Will I be in great danger for wearing green or orange (Catholic or Protestant) colors?
Can I take a train to Scotland? ;)
Will I ever make it to a second Guinness?
Stay posted :)
Happy Friday the 13th!
