prepare for trip

I have been attempting to physically and mentally prepare myself for my upcoming trip to Nicaragua for the past few weeks now. I have been fortunate to have made a few contacts with others that have been to Bluefileds or are going to be there when I am. Although I have had some travel experience in the past, this trip will be a whole new challenge, as my main objective this time is to conduct research. another concern I have is the language barriers. I am making feeble attempts to learn Spanish, but that has been difficult. And Bluefieds also has many other native languages, as well as Creole English. As I prepare for the trip I am attempting to put all of my fears behind me and look ahead, although as the days count down, this becomes increasingly difficult to do....
