She
continued, “This
is
all
a
little
bittersweet
because
I’m
leaving
my
family
for
seven
weeks
and
that’s
a
little
scary.
But,
you
know,
in
the
end,
I
could
come
back
and
maybe
have
the
love
of
my
life
and
someone
to
share
my
great
life
with.”
When
it
comes
to
looking
ahead
at
her
Golden
Bachelorette
journey,
Joan
is
coming
prepared
for
any
scenario
thrown
her
way.
“I’m
a
little
embarrassed
but
look,
I
have
an
entire
suitcase
full
of
shoes,”
she
explained. “I
have
no
idea
what
the
weather
is
like
in
California
at
this
time
of
year,
so
I’m
bringing
a
huge
variety
of
clothes.
I’m
going
to
admit
to
you
that
I
actually
have
three
full
suitcases,
which
is
ridiculous.”
Despite
the
reluctance
to
be
away
from
her
family
in
Maryland
for
nearly
two
months,
Joan
added
that
she
won’t
be
fully
away
from
them
as
they
will
join
her
for “a
couple
days
and
shoot
some
promos.”
“I’m
so
proud
of
them,”
she
gushed, “and
it
gives
me
a
couple
more
days
with
them.”
In
the
caption
of
her
post,
Joan
expressed
her
feelings
about
her
upcoming
new
adventure. “Excited,
nervous,
and
overpacked…
but,
mostly
ready
to
get
this
golden
journey
started,”
she
wrote. “Feeling
all
the
feels
as
I
pack
up
to
start
my
next
chapter
at
the
Bachelor
Mansion.”
