Un Mes!


Hola! Good news! Last week i received the details on my flight to Argentina! I will be flying out of Manchester, NH on August 19th at 7:10AM! I have an hour layover in Philadelphia, and then head to Miami by 1:00! I will be flying American Airlines from Miami to Buenos Aires, leaving at 8:00PM and arriving at 6:00AM. As you can imagine, i am very excited about this :) The more information i receive, the more of a reality it becomes!
We have also received information that the consulate in New York City has requested that i send my visa application in overnight mail, so that it can be approved! I plan to do this first thing tomorrow morning.
I've been working hard these past few days to study and learn a lot more about the Argentinean culture. Sometimes it is hard because the information is either in Spanish, or I'm not sure if the information is correct. Either way, I'm definitely enjoying learning about my future governor, the climate, the food, and much more :)
One month from today, i will be on my way towards a new life, a new family, and one of the best experiences ever! Cant wait!
Amor y Paz,
Abigail Mauck

Un pequeño problema


Today, unfortunately, I got a call from AFS with information that my departure date has been changed to August 19th or 20th rather than July 27th. Of course, as you can imagine, this is very disappointing news because of the fact that I was supposed to leave in 3 weeks. I am trying to see the positive side of this, and still remain very excited for what the future holds!
