A Foggy Day Pre-Chinatown

Good morning.

It's Sunday here in Scarborough, Maine, raining and thundering. I'm headed to China in 24 hours! In 24(-ish) hours, I will be on a plane, first to D.C., and then to Chiner.

I'm a little worried. Just a little. On Slate.com, they posted a big, long list of all the things that could go wrong during the Games. The problems ranged from locusts (that's right, they're making a comeback) to terrorism. Or as our beloved president would say, "tourism." I guess I'm worried that I'll get blown up/kidnapped/separated from my mother, which is why I have bought a leash to tie around my waist, which she will hold. Better safe than lost in a sea of terrorists/tourists.

We (my group of 200+) have a lot of plans for the trip. Plan one is get measured for tailor-made clothes! I've been sketching designs and dog-earing things in Vogue that I want made. Then we're headed to the Great Wall, Ming Tombs, Forbidden City, etc., etc....Wow. Even the Great Wall comes second to fashion.

I had been trying to get out of this trip, but now I'm excited to go. I'm especially excited to eat and shop. If I can just remember, I'm excited, I'm excited, I'll stop feeling so worried.

I plan on blogging every day, because I can't possibly be occupied with sightseeing the entire time. I'm gointer take lots of pictures, and post them on Facebook, and flickr (www.flickr.com/kbreezyonthemic). And I'm gonna have fuuuuuuun.
