Excitment Might Overtake Sleep Tonight

The countdown has begun. Although I am excited about going on the trip I am also nervous that I may forget something important (Passport is packed). I started packing thanksgiving day morning as I am the type of person that does not like to wait until the last minute to pack which helps lessen my worrying a little bit. I am looking forward to the new experience as this is my first trip outside of the United States. I have talked to friends and family members who have been overseas on different occasions and they assure me I will have fun. A friend of mine who visited there told me layers are the best during this time of year. I am not one for cold weather but I am sure the experience will be worth it. I hope to gain a better perspective of how other health care system work. I have only been exposed to the way the United States system works so it will be interesting to see how other places run their health care system. I am also looking forward to talking the some of the people to get their opinion about the heath care system and the care they receive. My overall expectations for this trip is to have fun and enjoy the experience. I am looking forward to leaning about the history of British Culture through the many sites we will be visiting.
