Newark NJ

We are sitting in Newark airport waiting for our flight to Stockholm. There is a group of college age students sitting near us passing around the guitar and playing. Maybe we will meet them again in a hostel somewhere. The teenage girl talking to Alicia, Annika, and Kjerstin is dressed in red white and blue and said she just went to high school in Indianapolis and is going back home to Germany. The older couple behind us is from Germany living in Hilton Head SC and going back to Germany for visit. A bird just flew by us and I heard a young boy tell his dad "No really! It was a real bird!" The cultural adventure begins and we haven't even left the States yet

WHAT??!! We are boarding in 10 minutes and I just looked at the flight board and we are now departing all the way to the other end of the terminal. Now that we are here, I notice the other passengers look a little more Scandinavian and hear some Swedish spoken. Whew, we made it.

Woohoo!
This is so cool! It will be fun to watch your progress. When you get back I'll have to show you my trip journal. Stories so similar to yours already, although, my journal technology is much more, what's the word? antiquated? Let's compare scrapbooks this fall! Good luck, be safe, but have great adventures! Love to you all! Sara
