And....we're off!

After years of planning, months of worry, weeks of shopping, days of packing, and a short [rather tearful] goodbye with Mom, I am on my way to Prague. 

Well, sort of. 

I am sitting in the airport in Charlotte awaiting my flight to Philly. Having cried my way through security, I am slowly getting a hold on myself. I have never been away from home for an extended period of time and while I know that I will have an amazing trip, I can't get over how far away May 16th is. Bahhh!

I am going to Madrid to stay with Jeannie and her family. I haven't seen Roby or Ana for at least ten years, so I am excited to see them. I love Spain [I went in high school] and look forward to revisiting some of my favorite museums and finding new sites so visit.

ps: this is the first time in 5 years since I have not had a cell phone within reach. I feel naked.

  1. Being without a cell phone will be SO healthy for you! It's liberating to not have one--when I drive out of range here, I feel an incredible sense of relief and weight off my shoulders. Embrace it--you'll be back soon enough.
