Leaving on a jet plane

Hi everyone! This will be my blog while I'm teaching English in Chiang Mai, Thailand through Grinnell Corps. I leave tomorrow! My bags are mostly packed, and I managed to fit almost everything I need into a big, backpacking backpack and one carry-on daypack--this is probably the lightest I have ever packed in my life. I'm so excited to arrive in Thailand, yet also nervous, and so I hope that you will follow my progress through my blog!
