Rebecca and Muse Watson are hitting the road...
This is a short entry because work lasted forever tonight, it's late, I'm tired, and I'm waking up bright and early tomorrow morning to leave for summer camp! I'm not sure how often I'll have Internet access there, so posts may be sporadic for a while. My back-up plan is to keep a paper journal of my experiences, take lots of pictures, and put them all on LiveJournal later.
I'm going to a summer camp run by the URJ (Union for Reform Judaism). I'll be there for a week. I'm so nervous about it because even though I've heard great things about this camp, I've never been before and I don't know anyone there! But I keep telling myself that if I can fly to France alone and live there for nine months, then surely I can survive at a summer camp in Mississippi for a week. Right?
Besides the normal clothes and toiletries you put in a suitcase, can you guess what else Rebecca has packed?
Tomorrow morning, it's Mississippi, or bust! But I probably shouldn't say that -- Muse Watson might choose "bust"! For tonight, I'll leave you with this beautiful, moving video about travel, discovered recently via littlesammy:
If all the days that come to pass are behind these walls,
I'll be left at the end of things in a world kept small.
I'll travel far from what I know, and I'll be swept away.
I need to know I can be lost and not afraid.

- Detailed, turn-by-turn directions the camp.
- A Louisiana state map.
- A flat-tire emergency repair kit (that's in addition to the spare tire in Muse Watson's trunk).
- A tire inflation pump and gauge.
- A spare gas tank full of gas.
- Enough snack food to last for several days.
