It's amazing how many ways you can make a countdown. First, it was 16 days from August 1st. Yesterday was one week til I leave the US. Today is one week til I arrive in Chiang Mai. Today my mom asked me if I'd started packing and figuring out what suitcase I am taking. Yesterday my brother asked to eat at a certain restaurant for our family lunch on Sunday, but mom responded that it'll be my choice because it'll be "my last meal out." These are the little things that make leaving really start to set in!
