I'm super pumped, despite the recent news warning people to avoid Mexico (swine flu, drug lords, etc.) You know, ya gotta have faith (George Michael, anyone?) I think my first purchases will be cowboy boots and a belt buckle. It's important to fit in, right? I wonder if I can sign up for line dancing classes in McAllen... Grandma, when I come back in July I'll have you teach me a few moves!!
Here's the rough plan for our trip: Tomorrow (Wednesday) Dad and I will drive to Madison, WI (we didn't want to be overly ambitious on the first day) and hang out with Andrea and Little B!! Adam, we'll miss you!
Thursday we will head south, with a pit stop in Springfield, IL to see the Lincoln library/soak up some historical knowledge!! (I'm thinking we'll film spots for a future classroom Jeopardy game...) We are planning to stay in Springfield, Missouri if I remember correctly.
Friday we are going to go as far as San Antonio, TX. Saturday will feature a visit to the Alamo (again, I need to learn as much about History as possible in this 5 day trip).... then we will be driving to our final destination: McAllen, TX!!!! Dad is flying home Sunday afternoon.... and I will be officially entering into the intense, driven world of Teach For America.
Phew. I'll try and blog from the road... There are bound to be a few adventures and stories to tell :)
Adios for now!
