Helloooo ladies and gentlemen,
I am extremely flattered by all of your comments! I can't believe so many people care about this trip. I think I'm going to have to keep this travel blog a bit more updated to keep you all entertained. the pressure!!!!
Right now I am attending our final meeting for the Europe trip. All the others of which I was on webcam in which my face was passed around on a screen are long gone and now it's crunch time. We are weighing all of our bags and making everything as efficient as possible...it's not easy. it seems like everyone is giving up something they don't want to(I luckily did this process before I left for Kansas City so my dramatics were saved for my bedroom walls).
it's 4:51 pm in Kansas City right now and it is officially the quiet before the storm. Everyone is retreating to their respective families after perfectly stowing away their luggage and all the communication between everyone has been silenced. But when 6:20 hits tomorrow morning(when the first 2 people of our party take off) the storm will begin. thundering, we will be transported along with our 30 lb bags across the world. to Europe!!!!
and now a homage to Jack London(since I am missing Oakland already...): "It is so quiet and peaceful, and I sit here, and ponder, and am restless. It is the quiet that makes me restless. It seems unreal. All the world is quiet, but it is the quiet before the storm. I strain my ears, and all my senses, for some betrayal of that impending storm."
Next post will be in Paris...
