Our trip is about 6 months 3 weeks away. I can't believe it's half a year. It seems like so long ago when I was applying, and even longer since I first heard about it!
We had a meeting about the trip before the end of the school year and I got to meet a few of the other students going on the trip. We skyped (or tried) with Candice down in Trinidad and talked to the professor who will be teaching our Literature course there.
We also got a few sheets detailing what kind of things we should pack so we can go shopping this summer. For all their wildness at Carnival, they seem rather conservative in girl's clothing. We were told to tend to stay away from low cut shirts, strapless shirts and dresses, or tank tops with thin straps.
For our flight we all find our own way to Miami and then we will all join up for the final flight to Trinidad. Fortunately for me one of the guys will be flying out of the same airport as me, so I'm hoping we can meet up and fly out together. Makes it easier to navigate the airport and the company will be nice! Still, we don't get tickets until this fall.
That's all for now; going to enjoy this summer till things start kicking into gear this fall!
