Sydney's wishes for the trip

I am so excited for this trip tomorrow. I am a little anxious for the flight because we arrive in the morning, but hopefully I can sleep on the plane! Learning Spanish in Spain excites me a lot because I will get to speak it with more people for everyday use surrounded by the culture. Trying new food will be an adventure, like paella and lots of others! I cannot wait to meet my host family and to get to know them better. On this trip I hope to improve my Spanish and become more comfortable speaking in front of others. I wish that I will try all the different foods and experience the culture fully! I expect that it will be very hot, and I must stay very hydrated. I cannot wait to leave Texas and go to a country that I have never been before, immersing myself fully into the culture thanks to my school, teachers, host family, and parents.
