Departure

It's 6:44am and everyone (Dr Warner, Dr Jones, Dr Wilson, and Joy) has arrived with me at Gate C15 at the Raleigh Durham Airport!  We are about to board for our first flight which will take us to Atlanta with just a short time to transfer over to our connecting flight to Honduras!

So before we depart I will give you brief history of the last few days...

About a week ago I was having a conversation with my sister about how I grew up in New York State my whole life, and yet I will now have traveled to another country before ever visiting New York City!  Ok, so at this point it's sinking in just a little.

Then Wednesday rolls around, my to do list is a mile long with a Statistics midterm at 7:15pm.  I finished early at the office and went home to dedicate 4 hours to studying and practicing for said midterm.  Then, while driving to class it hits me like a brick and I start texting my friend Ashley, a partner in this "back to school" journey, and she replies with limitless excitement, while I begin to stress, then panic about my midterm!

This morning, after only about two hours of sleep, I frantically packed, as I always do, last minute.  It became all too real that I was about to leave the country, which was when my anticipation turned into excitement.  Thankfully, my new friend Randa was with me every step of the way, so I could repeatedly tell her every five minutes "oh my goodness, I'm really doing this!"

I'm thankful to begin this journey and cannot wait to tell you all about it along the way!  It's time to fly!
