Finally Fiji-Bound

I was going to go out to lunch and see some of Seoul today with a friend that I made at the hostel that I stayed at while I was in Australia last January (her name is Lucy), but after talking with my mom and dad we figured it would be best if I laid off of the excitement for a little while and just took it easy today before heading to the airport. I'm so glad I'm in this hotel room...even though the lights are controlled by the tv remote and I am expected to take off my shoes at the door and wear little slippers around the place and I got kicked out of an all you can eat breakfast buffet this morning because I ate too much. My flight leaves at 7pm tonight and I arrive in Nadi at 9am tomorrow morning, where I will have to take a shuttle bus (apparently the taxis can be a little dangerous, a nugget of information that was disclosed to my mother by the international student officer at USP this morning that sent my mom into a frenzy of protectiveness) to Suva. It seems strange that I'm finally headed out, all my time in Italy felt like a vacation where I would just head back to Williams, and the past few days have been an odd mixture of airports and hotels with no real concept of time....hopefully everything will go smoothly though. And the next time I write in this thing I will be in Fiji!
