Fond Farewells

Today we start our two year journey at our respective colleges. We are heading down to London where we will say our final farewells to England and a big excited HELLO to India (for Sarah) and Costa Rica (for Alison).

For the past week we have been rushing round in preparation with key questions in mind, 'have i forgot something?', 'can i take this?', and 'why is my suitcase too heavy?'. Now we are very close to leaving and all three questions are becoming more prevalent than they were at the start of the week and we are almost getting used to the idea of living in another country for two years.

Many of our friends ask us how it is going to be leaving each other for the first time and to go to other sides of the world. In honest reply, we have no idea, we will find out as the journey goes on.
On one hand it will be good to be living independently and finding our own individual ways, this is a big factor in why we applied in the first place. On the other hand it will be strange not having your twin always there and i'm sure we will miss annoying each other!

We are both so excited and nervous for our travels. We cant wait to meet many amazing people and create unforgettable experiences. However problems with Sarah's visa mean that she will be arriving later than expected. But for now we say ta ta to England and Namaste or  Hola to the next stage in our life.
One can't wait for this spiffing show to start.
