The night before we fly or homemade mashed potatoes don't feel so good when you're nervous

Its 3:30am in Florida, and Alex and I are preparing to be airbound on our (several connections) flight to Amsterdam. Ok, so not preparing, more like feeling nervous and excited like we're gonna puke and should keep it cool. At least that's how I feel. Alex is up talking with his abuela, so he's prolly feeling pretty good. We will be on a plane to Boston in 12 hours, a plane to Iceland in 15.5, and on our way to the Netherlands in 22.

Reasons why this blog exists (that's a place to start right?)
1) I doubt I'll sleep (OK so that's why this blog exists RIGHT NOW as opposed to earlier or later)
2) We told everyone we would keep in touch, and I'd rather not do it on other social media websites even tho this one could be just the same.
3) I love you (yes you) and Alex does too. We miss you already.
4) Probably really cool pictures.
5) Updates on (mis)adventures and that we are not dead, but oh so alive.
6) Made connections in Europe (lets high five there!)

Things we're gonna do
1) Do 20 frowns a day to be able to handle all the smiling we're gonna do.
2) Make friends
3) Loose stuff
4) Be glad we didn't loose each other
5) Ride bikes and be really tired
6) Ride bikes and be really cool (as in awesome)
7) Ride bikes and be really hot (as in overheated? Maybe)
8) Communicate with others and educate ourselves outside of the USbubble
9) Eat bread and chocolate
10) Enjoy flavors
11) Totally freak out
12) Play it cool
13) Forget to call home
14) Apologize for forgetting to call home
15) Send postcards (we'll need addresses for that)
16) Learn how to ask for cookies

Things we're not gonna do
1) Be rude Americans on purpose (probably on accident, but then we will be apologetic and share snacks)
2) Loose stuff
3) Loose each other
4) Be bored

I'm still not tired but I feel a little better. Thanks mashed potatoes.
