So I definitely have come down with something. :/ And I can't just sit around in bed as I thought I would be able to! I guess getting sick isn't as great as I thought it would be!
We got a bunch of emails from WWOOF farms and have started responding to them. It's such an exciting process! There are so many amazing farms in Hawaii. I'm trying to find a farm that is into yoga. Many of the farms I've looked at are. They give free yoga classes or have all there workers do yoga before work on the beach. How absolutely lovely!!! There is something so soothing and relaxing about yoga while at the same time it is so strenuous and a fantastic workout!
We tried calling one of the managers at a WWOOF farm yesterday but couldn't get through. I'm hoping to make a lot more phone calls this week to figure out where we can go to work! And then I need to buy tickets from California to Hawaii. I'm going to Utah to visit my Nana and Papa for a week and then me and Nic are meeting up in Cali where we will spend a few days and then on to Hawaii!
October is the perfect time to leave Maine. It's still so beautiful out and even though its cold, its not cold enough to snow yet! I'll be leaving when the leaves are at there peak. It's just amazing out. Soooo gorgeous! I have to get in a bunch more hikes around here before we leave.
I also need to crack down on finding schools to apply to before I leave. I want to make sure I have a place to go next year to study! My dream right now is to get my bachelors in Interior Design and Spanish and then get a degree in Corporate Law. Right now we are only looking at schools in Florida and so far they look fantastic. I want to go to school in Florida for the winters and then come back to Maine for the summers. Wouldn't that just be the perfect life?!?! Nic will miss snowboarding, of course, but we can always visit places with snow! I'll miss the snow too but we just have it for FFAARR to LLOOONNGG in Maine!
I can't wait to get home tonight and go to bed early. I don't have time to be sick right now!! Maybe it will all be over tomorrow...

Pre Trip Stressing
This being my first blog I've ever written, I'm quite unsure how to start...I might as well just dive right in!!
Nic and I are traveling this year. I just finished my first year of college at SMCC where I had an absolutely dreadful experience. And Nic just finished high school. Our original plan was to travel to California, Hawaii, Ecuador, Chile, Spain and then Ireland. But we have sadly cut out Spain and Ireland and are saving them for another trip so that we can spend more time there.
So first stop is California for about a week and the Hawaii for three months! Ecuador for about one month and Chile for maybe a month and a half. We will be WWOOFing about. (World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms) Right now we are in the toilsome but exciting process of contacting farms and writing resumes and answering questions and making many long distance phone calls! Did you know Hawaii is 5-6 hours behind us!! (and by us I mean Maine people)
We are both finishing up our summer/now turning into fall jobs. I love my job and I feel so guilty for saying this but I am sooo ready to be done!!! I cannot wait to travel and see the world! Oh and we are also trying to find colleges to apply to before we go so we are both totally stressed out!!
I can't figure out what I want to pack or what I need to buy to pack or how to pack it or when to start packing! I'm thinking and planning to bring so many things I'm sure I'll need at least 5 suitcases which maybe isn't so smart considering its probably going to cost about $50 a bag to put on a plane since airlines are lame now and also I only have 2 arms and am going to be backpacking around. Meh. I suppose I'll just have to stick with my backpack and a carry on. Scary idea for me!
I think I may be getting sick, which might be nice because then that will mean I will be stuck all day in bed and will HAVE to get things done for our trip and for college. Meaning I will have to do research and send emails and write a college essay!
My pinky on my left hand is a bit sore. Probably from all this typing! I haven't typed this much in awhile! (Don't you dare laugh at me!) I guess I shall sign off now since this first post is getting a bit lengthy...
Until next time!!
