One Month

With one month to go before I leave for Ecuador, I've sent my application for my visa to the Ecuadorian Embassy. I got the packet in the mail today that I was waiting for. This packet had a sample of how to fill out the application and several documents that I had to send along with the application. I also had to send my background check, my HIV test, two passport photos, my passport, and a money order. I mailed all of this to the embassy and I should have my visa and passport back in about 2 weeks!

I'm almost done with my reading that I need to do before I leave, but not quite. I just started the 3rd and last book that I have to read.

I guess I need to start actually thinking about what I'm taking and how I'm packing. I ended up buying a set of luggage a few weeks ago, so I can start figuring out how everything will fit in there.

It's coming up fast!
