British Airways

Aha! I bet you were thinking...finally, a few minutes of peace...not so much!! No, I am not in London or Nairobi, I am in The Lounge at DIA (denver int'l airport). Thank you 'dad.' It appears I will be flying in a class that I've only dreamt about until now- at least to London. Hey, I'll take it!

Now that I have a few minutes to eat whatever I want, drink whatever I want and sit in giant, plush chairs, I can think back over the last 48 hours and breathe....finally. It's amazing how I planned ahead, wanted to be packed days ago...and was. And yet, I repacked about a hundred times. What is up with that? Like I'm going to make more room? No, because every time I thought I was packed, I found more stuff to take...what started as one backpack, morphed into two when I wasn't looking.

Aaron wrote me the nicest note, he's the best brother ever! Really, I am making it public... no take backs... do you see that Aaron? Ok, what that means for you...you must keep Shadow alive... play nice you two! And take care of yourself too! (hey aaron, you can put the 20 dollars in my dresser drawer :))

To all those wonderful friends who have sent me well wishes over the last few days, thank you. It is so nice to know I've got such incredible energy coming from you all as I embark on this adventure.

I'm not sure how often I will have internet access, but I promise to keep everyone up to date as often as I am able, feel free to keep me up to date as well, I'm only a few clicks away. I love you all!
