Just testing.... and packing!

Hey all!
This is just a trial run to see how this works...
I'm in the middle of packing for China right now and I'm getting pretty nervous about getting all of my stuff together. Everyone wants to say goodbye and talk to me right now, but I'm pretty aloof trying to finish things up around the house, pack, prepare lessons, and take care of my nervous stomach! (Anyone who knows me well knows that my stress reaction is something like the flu... ick!) Okay. I'm going to keep this one short in the interest of saving time. Below is my flight itinerary for anyone who cares/needs to know! I'll be posting again in a few days! Stay tuned...
