Finally here. Tomorrow I'm taking a flight from JFK to Athens. Needless to say I'm very excited. Easily as excited as I've ever been. Maybe even more so, although it hasn't truly hit me yet. I'm sure it will when I step off the plane in Athens. As you probably know I'll be traveling alone. It's a little intimidating but I think I'd rather have it this way. I look forward to learning about the world out there and hopefully something about myself as well. Can't wait to experience what the sistine chapel smells like. How do you like them apples?
