It is now about 8 pm Seattle time and I got up to start this trip home at 6 am from Rome. Adding in the 9 hour time change, I've been on the road, in the sky, or in some way or other making my way west for the past 24 hours, but since my math brain is not functioning too well, that may not be accurate. If you are reading this, you are more awake than I am, so you do the math. I just know it is a long time when you can watch most of three movies and still not be at your "final destination" and the airlines like to call, home.

Sooo yesterday when we checked our flight information it said our plane was coming at 3:30 instead of 4:30 which was the scheduled time. Matt was not doing very well this morning so I was kinda all over the place trying to get last minute stuff together by myself.

We hauled our luggage down two flights of stairs and found someone to let us know that if we went to the end of the platform and back up there would be a ticket station there. ... read more

Hi everyone! This is my first blog ever so don’t make fun! Here’s a little about my upcoming trip: I am about to embark on an adventure to Europe and Asia. First Pau, France for five weeks to study French, the San Sebastian, Spain to play, I mean study Spanish for five more weeks, then India, with a month of uncertainty in between! I am phoneless, all alone (with nothing except my backpack and netbook), and incredibly exciteous (100% excited and nervous at the same exact time). I’m sitting in Spokane, only 27 hours away from Paris, which is surprisingly intimidating. I haven’t spoken French in a while, and I’ve never traveled all by myself. We’ll see how this goes! I have decided to give couchsurfers a try. Some of my friends have tried it, and ... read more
