Feelings before the trip

I've never been out of the US before and I had dreams of travelling and I get my chance to Malaysia and Thailand!! Whoo-hoo! For more info about my trip and about myself please click here!

A few days before the trip I went to the gym to condition and prepare myself for the trip. I didn't really think about this trip that much because it didn't hit me that I was going on this trip until the last two days. I kept putting off packing because I didn't realize I was leaving.

I kept packing and unpacking because I wasn't sure what I'm supposed to pack. We were told to pack as little as possible and appropriately because we are going to a Muslim dominated area. Too be honest, I was a little worried because I knew Malaysia would be hot, but because it's a Muslim dominated area I still want to dress modest. I dress modestly anyway, but I didn't know if I could wear shorts and T-shirts.

One full suitcase and an empty rolled up duffel bag (for later use) =6 weeks!
The program is roughly 4 weeks, but my friends and I will head to Thailand after.
