So I will be the one primarily posting the writing on this blog, and my sister Shayna will be doing the photographs. Hopefully we will be blogging every day.
A little about me before we begin:
This will be my little self bit before the trip, so you can get to know who's work you're reading.
My name is Rebecca Dollinger, I am seventeen years old. I have been traveling since I was an infant.
My hobbies include art, writing, and music. I hope you will enjoy our blog!!
So now we are here, the night before we leave for South America. I will compose a poem for this occasion.
Being Prepared
My bags are fully packed, did the double check
My ipad is charged
My clothes are as neat as ducks in a row in my suitcase
And tomorrow starts day one of our journey
A million thoughts are racing through my mind
I am not prepared for this
Of course, my zipped suitcases beg to differ
But I do not believe it will feel real
Until that second I step on the plane
Breathe in the disgusting overused airplane air
And realize that I am hours away from taking steps on foreign soil
From our next big summer adventure
To the place where we will tell stories about and remember forever
To the ships and cars and planes
To the too much dirt and too little clean water
To the loving feel of the blankets that enwrap us after a too full day
To wishing I was in a bed when my leg falls asleep trying to rest on the plane
To the "take only photographs" and "leave only love"
To really understanding different cultures
To having the best Latin American trip we could've ever dreamed of
I know this will be an amazing trip
I just hope I am prepared
Now it's time for me to go to bed, for it is early morning tomorrow on a plane to Los Angeles! Follow along on our journey, share the excitement. Hope you enjoy!
