I'll Be Home for Christmas

IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN!
As you all know, the most wonderful time of the year is here in a two-fold treat: CHRISTMAS and a certain traveler's return to the States! My flight leaves from Granada at 9:50 in the morning tomorrow (which means a very early trip to the airport) and I will be home by Wednesday evening. I am overwhelmed both at the thought of leaving and of coming home...bittersweet, yes indeed. I am packing my bags (please say a prayer that everything fits and that I personally make it back in one piece (that is, that I don't crumble under the weight of my luggage). I have never been excellent with goodbyes, and I have already been feeling the effects. Kleenex anyone? I am saying many of my farewells today and I am constantly reminded how blessed I have been over the last three months.

I still have the last three weeks to post on the blog. So, while you are home for the holiday enjoying a cup of hot chocolate in front of the fireplace or kitchen table, you will have some exciting reading material at hand!

I love you all and I want to thank you for the e-mails, snail mail, calls, and AIM and Skype chats throughout the semester. You are all such a blessing to me, and I look forward to seeing you soon.

Un beso y un abrazo,
Diane

Yo hablo mejor que escribo

Once again, I have failed to post a written account of my adventures. I have started writing everything down, but time has a way of getting away from me in these last days here.
Please, enjoy the video messages as an assurance that I am still safe and sound. I will be seeing you all soon!
Love,
Diane
