First blog post from abroad! I’m only in Dublin and have already narrowly avoided catastrophe. I didn’t even realize my flight out of JFK was delayed 3 hours, but someone at the ticketing counter (where I wasn’t allowed to check in because I was too early) offered to switch me to an earlier flight. I would’ve missed my connection here. So now I’m waiting in the Dublin airport for my next connection to Heathrow in 4 hours.
First adventure: the road trip to Portland. Even before that, five of my closest friends from Crew came to see me off this morning. Erin, Gigs, Kristin, Amy and Caroline all came over at 6:30am to say bye. Thanks again, girls! It was the perfect sendoff, complete with pictures of next year’s 5man!! Then, an epic road trip with Katie, Gemma, Abbey and Annie to Portland. First stop was at Jorgenson’s for a yummy breakfast (everyone needs to get the breakfast sandwich, seriously. It’s absolutely delicious.). Then LLBean for some last minute shopping and photos with huge moose! And of course, a stop off at Whole Foods to pick up dinner for the plane. The drive was so much fun, and the perfect way to end my semester in Maine!
I found the door to door travel time, and it’s exactly 48 hours. And now, I’m just about 18 hours in. 2 flights down, 3 to go. I just can’t explain how excited I am to finally get back to Malawi. It seems so surreal that the time’s finally here!

walking home yesterday past pierce was the first time it really made sense to me that you are gone. pad thai was not nearly as much fun without you! I'm glad your travels started well. I MISS YOU ALREADY! also, I'm trying to pack my room up right now and it's would be 1000 times more fun if we were packing together.
ReplyDeletepeace and love,

SO fun to read your adventures as they are happening!
ReplyDeleteI love you sexy and miss you soooooooo much already! Have an awesome time I can't wait to skype with you and see your beautiful face again!
ReplyDeleteK.Clark. I told you to double and triple check your flight times!! & in JFK, too. Miss World Traveler, you should know better. Haha .. I miss you so much. This room sucks without you and I have left all your bags of stuff out so that your side doesn't seem as empty.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that you're making your way to Malawi, though you should be there by now (right?). Blog again, and soon! I can't wait to hear more about your travels and make sure to PUT UP PICTURES. As you said in the description of this blog, the purpose of this is to be able to post pictures with the commentary. So I expect more from the next post.
Don't get lost and please don't almost-miss any more flights or rides. I love you so much. Skype date soon!
