Just 9 hours left before I’m on the plane to the USA. I’m probably not going to sleep anymore tonight, since there’s only less than 4 hours left till I have to leave for the airport (it’s 2:13 am now). Of course I haven’t done any packing before tonight, and I still had to do some ironing. And since I worked until 10 pm tonight just to finish up some reports I promised I would do before my vacation -- and no, I did not finish everything I wanted to finish -- that explains why I’m still up so late.

Very excited to see HeeRa, Seve and HyeWon again, but I have to admit, I'm also pretty nervous as well. We had such a great time together back in Korea, I’m just afraid that the trip won't be able to live up to the high expectations. I know I shouldn’t worry about it. Even if it’s not going to be exactly the same as before, it’s still going to be a lot of fun.

Anyway, it’s going to be a very busy two weeks. I’m flying to Iowa first to meet up with HeeRa, then we are driving to Denver to Seve. After that, I’m taking the train to New York, where I’ll probably meet up with HyeWon for 1 or 2 days. And then I’m off to Chicago to meet up with HeeRa again, and then I’m flying back to the Netherlands. It’s a pretty crazy schedule I think. I’ll probably have to visit New York again at a future date, so I can enjoy the sights at a more leisurely pace.

It’s 2:32am now, so that’s another 19 minutes closer to my departure since I started writing this. Really looking forward to it!
