Countdown is ON!

In less than 40 days I will be boarding an airplane for Thailand!  I have already sold most of my belongings, found temporary homes for my dog and cat, received my Visa, and acquired an international driving permit.  I am still waiting anxiously to see an official contract as I need it to successfully take care of some business at home such as cancelling my cell phone contract.  I also am confused as to what insurance is provided or what I need to have with me before I leave, and hope I hear back soon as it's making me anxious.  

I've been enjoying spending time with friends who I will not see for more than a year!  I am signed up for the 11-month supported teaching placement with i-to-i.
