8 hours to go!

Well, I'm now packed and ready to head off to South America on my 7 week holiday!! I'm starting my adventure with a 21 day Tucan tour "Condor". On my last night before I depart I've got mixed feelings of excitement of exploring a new country, and the uncertianty of being in a place where English is not feely spoken, and the ever-asked question: have I taken too much stuff from home or not enough? Only 8 hours until the journey begins...bring it on!!!!! Cathy
