10 Days Til Liftoff

Can you believe it? 10 Days! To me it's still some far off dream, but everything is set.
I just returned from a nice 3 day getaway to Atlantic City for a friend's birthday (I only lost $40 to a Blackjack table) to realize that I am leaving in 10 days. I have booked my hostel in Madrid for five nights, although I still have no clue what I will be doing in the city for the time I am there. I have barely cracked open the guidebook I bought because of all the frustration and confusion over the trip.
There was a bit of a concern over booking the language class as Christmas and the week following was very busy and I did not go to book the class until January 8th and realized they specify you must pay three weeks in advance. However, I applied and emailed them, and with some help from Mom checking emails while I was gone we were able to book the class and pay for it. Soon I will be receiving the addresses of where I am staying, I can't wait.

My itinerary for the trip is as follows:
21 January: Fly out of Newark International
22 January: Arrive in Madrid after a short stopover in London
22-27 January: Madrid
27 January: Travel to Malaga, a city on the southern coast, to begin classes
27 January- 9 February: Malaga
10- 23 February: Sevilla
24 February- 8 March: Salamanca
9 March- 21 March: Barcelona
22 March: Fly out of Madrid back to home

I have not heard from the woman in Mexico in a few days, so I am still not sure whether I will be their au pair. I am looking forward to my trip and to whatever comes after.

Good night,
Jenn
