Almost there! On the
plan from Brisbane to Wellington I finally succumbed to boredom enough to
actually write something. This has been
an epic journey of waiting and getting on planes and sitting and then getting
off of them. Everything has been going well
so far. The flight from LA was
fantastic. Having never flown
internationally I didn’t know what to expect, but it was pretty awesome. From my own little media screen I could watch
movies and make playlists of music. I
was also seated next to a friendly and reasonably sized mother daughter duo
from Georgia. I slept most of the trip
and watched movies the rest of it. So
much for “Othello” on the plane. So far
everyone has been nice and helpful and I haven’t really had any problems to
speak of. It was crazy to watch the
little plane info-graphic on my screen move an ocean away from everything and
everyone I’ve ever known. I tried to
push back the fear and all of it at first, but then I just let it happen. Truth – right then I missed home and I was
questioning what the heck I was thinking doing the most challenging part of my
program without any of the support systems back home. PANIC!
But then I remembered that it’s ok, feeling that way is normal, and I am
going to love this adventure. I can feel
it.
