Today's THE Day!

Today marks my first time traveling without my family, my first time going to Europe, and my first time really teasting my comfort zones.  Today begins my study abroad trip to Spain where I'll be touring Madrid and Barcelona and looking at each city and their culture through cinema and social media.   I'm definitely nervous, but I'm really excited for this experience.  The program is a total of two weeks long, with the first week in Spain's capital, Madrid and the second week being spent in beautiful Barcelona.  I got my boarding passes in hand and am ready to start this 24-hour travel fiasco!  Wish me luck!!  

Have you ever traveled abroad?  What made it easier for you?  Feel free to leave some comments and let me know!
