After a few hectic days of last minute shopping and packing my departure date finally arrived. My mom and sister took me to the airport and refused to let me leave without taking tons of pictures. I finally convinced them that we didn't need to get yet another angle, and I was officially on my way. The start of the trip was somewhat jittery as our flight from Denver had mechanical problems. "Nothing to worry about" said the pilot, "we just have a fault light on in the cockpit." Yeah right, nothing to worry about. After an hour or so of having the A/C turn on and off repeatedly, we finally backed away from the gate and started taxiing. We made it almost all the way to the runway when the pilot comes on again and ... read more

I suppose all stories must end at some point, and this particular one does so here. During the first week of the TEFL program, I considered cutting the whole thing short. I found the whole experience much more empty than I had hoped and there much to be done at home. After all, I had not spent a week in Denver before I left for Paris. I was seriously considering leaving, so I looked on the program website for specific information about refunds, continuing the course elsewhere, and all the specifics that quitting would entail.

From Halifax to New York up in way ing the sky. I see all is fog, thick as Chocolate sryup. Entering the US border, I see heavenly clouds like cotton candy that I can dance on.

I fly into New York, very high security there, what I thought was something would happen and we would have to be stopped by. So many Officers were there, to be safe though, you know since 9/11 happen. We got through, but got lost a bit :S, I asked my dad if I can use the phone to call Sean ... read more

OK, so I came home a few days early! I missed my family and Andrew and Bailey a lot, and when Phuong and I started to get a bit frustrated with (tired of?) each other, I decided to call the airline and catch an earlier flight! It was fun navigating by myself. I caught a train from Salzburg to Munich, and took the S-bahn to the airport. Actually, first, I took it in the wrong direction. *Then* i took it to the airport! After a long day of travelling and some delayed flights, I landed and found out that Andrew's plane (he was flying in from South Carolina) had been cancelled! Bad weather at the East Coast. There went my ride. Never fear, though! My dad came at 10pm and rescued me. I'm so happy ... read more
