Random Thoughts 5 days from Departure

It's 5 days until departure and it's still doesn't seem real.  I don't think it will feel real until I get done touring Ireland and realize that my journey is just beginning!  That will be such an exciting feeling!  I have been thinking about random things lately so that's going to be my post today.  It's mainly things I will miss or realizing things I won't be doing for 3 months. 

• I won't drive a car for 3 months again.  I guess I am just practicing my walking for Chi-town. 
• I will miss the fall season TV premieres.  Really bummed about missing Terra Nova. 
• I am still REALLY nervous about the squat toilets in China.  You all know my issues with balance. 
• I won't have a homecooked meal.  Which also means I don't have to cook either! 
• I won't have any real responsibilities other than getting up every day to explore and experience life. 
• Will I lose weight or gain it?  
• Will my clothes make it for 3 months or will I need to go shopping?
• What major/minor thing am I forgetting about?  OR What will come up that I am not prepared for?
• Will I really make the 6 hour roundtrip train ride from Zurich to Zermat just to see the Materhorn or decide to be lazy that day?
• What if I find bed bugs along the way????  I will pray hard every night to avoid them! 
• I wonder what my favorite city will be. 
• Will KC remember me when I get back?
• How will this experience change me?
• Will I regret only bringing a carry on bag for 3 months?

I am sure there are more but that's it for now...
