Heading out

Blog efforts take one.

I am sitting in LAX creating my very first blog. I want to give some shout outs to some awesome people who have helped me prepare for my next great adventure.

Ro - the awesome name of my blog.
Alex B - chauffeur and best beach companion.
Carmen - being incredibly loving.
Meaghan - the last hug before my big adventure.
Mom, Dad, and Emma - for the patience in packing, errands, and texts.

So today is the longest travel day ever. A purposeful ten-hour layover in LA to see friends, go to the beach, and eat delicious food. I will arrive in Guatemala City in the morning, meet my new friends, and head out to Xela. I am nervous, excited, and exhausted all at the same time. Packing for a six month adventure is a new challenge for me. I am looking forward to new experiences, improving my Spanish, and getting ready to be the best doctor I can be.

My goal for this blog is to keep you updated on my day to day activities, side trips, and funny stories. The best way to keep in touch will be to email me at mjhaberlach@gmail.com, which I am going to be checking all the time as I apply for medical school. I will post a local phone number or address when I figure all that out. If you want me to send you a postcard, email me your address and I'll do that too. I love postcards ;)

Until later ... hasta
