I cannot believe that the planning, packing, shopping, and talking are practically over. Even though I know intellectually that in two days I will board a plane and fly across the Atlantic, the whole trip feels more like a dream than a reality. I have seen numerous pictures and listened to multiple Europe travel veterans tell their stories, but Europe still seems more like a fantasy world found in history books than a place that I will actually live. I am excited, though, about this dream world... I am also sad to leave people and places I love behind. However, I know that for me, in this time and place, the benefits of leaving home for three months will outweigh the advantages of staying. I hope that when I come back I will appreciate my home in a new way.
So, off I go... to vienna and beyond! ( I couldn't help myself...)

Bon voyage, Sarah! I'm incredibly happy for you to have the opportunity for this grand adventure. I know you will be blessed for it (and Europe will be blessed having you there!).

Praying for a safe trip for you. I am excitedly anticipating your blog. I have never been out of the country (excluding Canada) and I plan to live vicariously through you while you are there. LoL. Can't wait to hear all about it.
