1 week from today!

I can't believe I'll be leaving so soon! Next Wednesday I will fly from Miami to Panama City, and then a few days later I will be taking a bus to the Los Santos region (the peninsula on the Pacific side*see map below*) where I will be living with a host family and teaching 4-5 English classes a day. I will be in Panama until August 3rd! The group I'm going with is called Learning Enterprises. Check out their website http://learningenterprises.org .



Currently, I'm still perfecting lesson plans and trying to figure out how to fit all my gear into a backpack and a small carry on. If anyone has ideas for games or lesson plans please let me know! I will have limited internet access once I arrive, but will try to keep the blog updated at least once a week. I'll try to send postcards too! Also, I won't be taking my cell phone. I am going to try and buy a cheap one there- mostly for emergencies (which includes calling Dad to keep him sane lol). Anyways, yes I am getting excited but I'm also very nervous. I hope to spend as much time hanging out with friends and family before I leave because I am going to miss you all tons!
