Count Down!

Its not the exact set date but its a close guestimate! I cant wait!

Visa!!! Important

Okay
this is one of the most important things!!!! this is probably the most difficult thing I have ever done. When it is time to do your visa get right on it because one it takes for ever and you need to get a lot of things for over seas so dont procrastinate! The directions will be so confusing you dont even want to go any more!...okay maybe thats an exaggeratiion but still take a deep breath and just do it! same with the passport you need that for a visa.
