Alaskan Departure

I'm writing from the Miami International Airport, after having spent the last day and a half here in Miami. In about an hour 13 U.S. students will board on our way to Buenos Aires and eventually, Asuncion, Paraguay. I've met some really awesome people and am excited to stay in contact with them over the course of my year. We're all very anxious to get to Paraguay and to meet our host families. No one really knows what to expect. In fact, many kids' host families have changed since they arrived in Miami. As far as I know, I'll still be staying with Maria Vazquez Garcia and her daughter Anahi. Although, Anahi is supposedly leaving for a year in France a couple weeks after my arrival. Anahi's Aunt Maxi has also contacted me via email, so it might not just be mi madre y yo. I'm not sure when I'll have internet access again, but I'll update again as soon as I can.
Mucho Amor,
Allison
