Counting down for departure

As I start to pack for my 6-week adventure,  I am getting excited and nervous all at the same time. The first part of my summer has gone by so fast! It is almost time to live in another culture!  I am wondering about all the experiences I will encounter and I am anxious to see how different things will be than I expect.  Hoping I won't forget anything on my packing list and that my bag stays under 50 pounds! Will review my thoughts more before we leave...
