Tuesday

Oh geez, I'm leaving tomorrow!

Wow! Time sure has flown the last couple of weeks! I am all moved out of my apartment. My stuff is all over the place - some is at my Mom's house, and some is at Mykl's house. Plus, I have a table at Mykl's sister's house. I am so lucky and thankful for all of the people letting me store stuff everywhere!

I've been ignoring my wedding plans. Most of it can wait until I get back. I've left Mykl with the task of finishing the invitations and sending them out. Then, I'll just have to get busy when I get back! I've got most of the big picture stuff settled. It will just be a matter of buying decorations, figuring out food plans, and that sort of thing.

Tomorrow evening I will be flying out of St. Louis, stopping in Atlanta, then spending a long 9 hours and 45 minutes on a flight to Santiago. I was able to put the audiobook of the fourth Harry Potter on my mp3 player, so that should help me pass the time! Plus, I'm supposed to be sleeping then, so I may attempt to do so. I had such a hard time sleeping on the way to Spain though that I'm not sure how successful I will be. I'm planning on not getting much sleep tonight - maybe that will help! This time I will have an inflatable pillow that goes around my neck. Fancy!

If anyone needs to contact me, the easiest and cheapest way will be to e-mail me at jacobs718@missouristate.edu. If you are just dying to hear my voice (like so many of you are! Heh just kidding) than you can e-mail me or call my mom to get my phone number. The time difference isn't too crazy this time, so you should be able to call anytime.

I can't believe I'm going to study abroad again! I've been enjoying the nice weather today. I'm sure I'll be missing it by this time Thursday when I feel the winter weather. I hate winter! Oh well, winter won't be too bad there I suppose. I'm excited about trying new foods again, and practicing my Spanish. I will be taking classes during the morning until around 1:00, and then I'll be free the rest of the day unless I can arrange a volunteer opportunity. I'm hoping to do a little bit of traveling, but my funds are a bit limited. I may only get to visit one or two other cities. Hopefully I'll get to go skiing! Chile is well known for their great skiing conditions (most of their country is mountainous for goodness sake!).

Well, this is getting long (again). I will probably be posting again this weekend sometime. I start classes Friday! Eeek!

Hey chica!
I didn't have a chance to wish you a safe trip--so I hope you read this all safe and sound (and warm!) Chee-lay. P.S. Could you bring back a Llama for Diego? :)

The picture looks like ancient Seattle, surrounded by mountains and all. Nice!
Look up at night at the constellations, maybe you will see the Southern Cross for the first time (ask Neil Young) . . .
Love you, Dad

Hope you had a good flight

Alli! Have such a great time in Chile! I am loving Valencia (as you knew I would) and have been talking with Manuel and Vincente about you. I told them about your wedding and they are very excited for you. And by the way, I have tried SangrĂ­a and I love it! Maybe a little too much! Have fun! Be safe, be courteous!
