It has been a great day of relaxing and opening presents with the family. This Christmas has been highly centralized toward my nearing departure to the fabulous land of Denmark. For christmas I received a new suitcase from Joren (Joe & Lauren) that is very STEE! (Stee, a made up word by Joren, means Nasty or Sick....in a good way.) I also received THE comfiest LuLu Lemon leggings along with a lot of money, which I estimate will last me a couple days with the going rate for food and drinks in Copenhagen. $10 for a beer, thats crazy!!
All this relaxing and laying around has encouraged me to start this blog. With this blog I intend to keep my family and friends updated along with anyone else who wants to know where in the world Chels has been. I apologize in advance.
26 days till departure may seem like a long time away, but it will be here before I know it. Currently I am without a Visa, which may make things a little tricky upon arrival, so lets cross our fingers that one makes its way to my mailbox VERY SOON. In the next 26 days I have way to much to do and not enough time to do it. In the next week I will find myself flying from Minneapolis to Los Angeles, Los Angeles to San Francisco, and finally San Francisco to Minneapolis. Although this is a lot of traveling I cannot complain because I am privileged enough to be able to do this. I will be flying out to L.A. to attend the Rose Bowl with my best friends for one of the most unforgettable New Years Eves and three days of our lives. We like to refer to it as the last G.N.O (Girls Night Out, reference Miley Cyrus on that one) before we all go abroad. After my time in L.A. I will be visiting my Dad in San Francisco for a short 48 hours. I am hoping to turn this trip into an Anthony Bourdain "Layover" type trip, fitting in as many amazing sites and restaurants as possible! Once I land back in Minnesota it will be go go go, fitting in the last appointments and numerous shopping trips to prepare myself for the next 5 months.
So much to worry about, but its Christmas, so I will push it aside for one more day to enjoy the much needed relaxation and family bonding (bickering). Off to becoming Chels ;)
Cheers from Chels!
