This is the final day before we leave.  Feelings are a mixed bag.  There's a lot of excitement, a lot of nervousness, and more than a little tension.  Our last day in America for a while passes like most others.  And yet every thought the teachers have is ahead.  Every aspect of our plans are being analyzed.  Of course, there's no way anyone can be prepared for every little thing still to come.  And that is the beauty of a trip like this.
