Die wohl klingende Melodie der Heimat. Wow jetzt sind die 6 Monate im Projekt Chattanooga schon wieder rum. Und aufgehört haben sie mit einem Paukenschlag. Ich durfte die letzten 5 Tage bei Mike und seiner Familie in Sacramento verbringen. Und was ich da erlebt habe war nochmal ein Highlight dieser ganzen Tour. Aber ich will anfangen und hier einmal alles recht kurz auflisten (Damit, wenn ich vergesse wo ich war auch noch mal nachlesen kann): · Oktober: Ankunft, Kennenlernen Brian, Sue, Autumn und Aaron, Einzug und Memphis · November: Thanksgiving, Wiedersehen mit Ray und Judy nach 6 Jahren und New Orleans · Dezember: Besuch Papa, Besuch Verena, Smokies, Weihnachten und Silvester auf Jamaica · Januar: Jägerschnitzelabend mit den Jerds (Irgendwie muss man doch Geschmack in dieses Land bekommen) · Februar: mmhh habe ich im Februar eigentlich ... read more

Hi everyone! I made it to Atlanta so far, I arrived around 9am and will be sitting here until my flight takes off for Madrid at 7:05pm tonight. It's going to be a long day... There were a lot of tears saying goodbye to my parents this morning, and now I'm trying not to cry alone at the airport, cause then people think I'm weird, and no one else here is crying. Mr. Wilda was awesome when I saw him this morning at the airport, bought me water and made me feel better about leaving my parents at security. At this point, I would say I'm anxious excited. When I talk to all my friends and family I get sad, but when I talk to the people from my program that I'll be meeting in a ... read more

Sorry mom, we tried. Turns out there *nothing* to do in the Atlanta International terminal except to drink. We managed to distract ourselves for a few hours thanks to Klicos' new hotspot app on the phone. Managed some footballs, checked email, and are now well versed in current events, all of the current events. But with 3 more to go we've given up and headed to the wine bar. We are considering this conditioning for the rest of the trip. Cheers.... read more

We awoke early in Exuma, so I could plan the rest of our trip and so we could pack. I ended up listing us for an Atlanta to Dublin flight, but I was pretty sure we would not go there. I also got online to tell the TB that we would meet in Vienna, that we would no longer be going there. At about 11:30am, we took a taxi to Exuma airport for our 1:15pm flight to Atlanta. We cleared for business class and I was in seat 2A on the CRJ-700 aircraft. It was Delta flight 5606. The flight was smooth and routine and I had my usual gin and tonics while enroute. We landed in Atlanta on time and cleared customs and immigration pretty quickly. We then went to the Delta Sky Club to ... read more

I'm Everest bound! After a going away gathering at the house (organized by my sweet husband Gary) and a sleepless night I was ready to get going this morning. The boys were sad, but no tears for now. Of course I have already talked to all of them. My flight to Atlanta was only about half full and on time. Miracles never cease! Getting to fancy smancy International terminal took a little trek with my monster bag, but everyone was very helpful. The check-in process took maybe 30 sec. Very impressive! I have several hours to go, so I'm sure I'll be making my last calls and eating a good lunch. Then I'll sit more, eat more, hopefully sleep some then repeat the whole process again and again one my 14hr flight. Thanks to all who ... read more
