1 month and 15 days

Until I leave.  46 days if you really wanna be exact.

Here is my list of preparations (aka things I still need to do/get):

  • Passport: got on Wednesday
  • Visa: application sent on Friday
  • Plane ticket from JFK to Zurich: bought by my lovely hostess, Katrin, with a return on December 23 for Christmas
  • Call Swiss Embassy and make sure they got my application and that everything is in order.
  • New Luggage: still looking.  I was making a list in my head of all the things I'll need and 3 suitcases does not seem like it'll be enough, but I don't think I can take any more than that!
  • New winter clothes for skiing/sledding/etc: I don't even know where to start for this. Any ideas?
  • Probably a new bathing suit since my current one is falling apart
  • Good walking shoes?
  • Dentist appointment on Wednesday and then hopefully another soon to fill my cavities.
  • Probably a doctor's appointment just to make sure I don't need any vaccinations or have any underlying illnesses...not that I do, but I figure I should probably cover my bases
  • Still need to make plans to get to the airport on the 23rd.  Any takers?
  • Need to figure out the cell phone thing for when I first arrive in Switzerland since I won't have any way to contact anyone and I'm sure at least 1 family member will wonder if I made it there ok.  At least. I hope. :)

I know there's more but I can't think of anything else. But I do know that I'm really excited and also a little scared.
