Airport

By -
Sitting at the airport about to embark on this crazy adventure. Everythings starting to fully hit me. As many people have told me this is a bold thing to do. The question I have is whether I am a bold enough person to be the one doing this. Either way this is who is doing it and were stuck with that. Yes I am definitely excited. I mean when else in your life do you get to fly across the world with no plans or expectations to anybody else. No places to be, nobody to feel obligated to, and nothing to live up to. Just you, your backpack, and the world at your feet.
    The sign we saw on the way to the airport gives me the reassurance and sign from god that this is in fact exactly what I should be doing. (Its even in blue type, which I am starting to realize everything I brought is blue... a little wierd and disturbing to figure out)

    Continuing this blog in the T.G.I. Fridays in the Dallas airport. It would totally be something I would do to go to the most familiar place in the airport right next to my terminal. The waitress got happy though when she knew I worked here and we had an in depth fridays conversation, as well as suggesting menu items to the guy next to me. I don't know if I'll be able to escape that place. My ear is killing me right now and I can hardly hear anybody but I have my boarding pass in my hand and I'm just 13 hours from London. It feels amazing. The realization of what I'm about to head off and do is starting to hit me. Hopefully I have the brass steel balls that guy claimed I had. The texan style is definitely a switch, overhearing "well hot diggity" just makes me giggle. I can't wait to get the culture shock of the London style.

    Hahahaha I definitely giggled more than once during this post. "hot diggity!" Really?!:D I'm super excited for you, I love reading your blog, and I think that message you saw on that board is awesome. Keep the good times rolling, though I miss you already knowing you're so far away. <3 London's never gonna know what hit it :)

    Alright, so Im at the airport and still with out internet access. I figure I should just keep writing though as it will make people happy with all these updated blog stuff. But I did finally get around to buying a book to read and pretty much throw out when Im done, I caved and bought the book One Day which is what the movie is based on, even though I try not to buy ones where I know what happens. Technically though I have only seen the preview so I don't fully know what happens. Anywho, I should have showed up at the airport a long while ago. This one seems to be the place to be, since almost every place possibly, not excluding on the ground, hidden under signs, and any place you can pretty much walk there is a body sprawled out sleeping and the shops are still open so its pretty much a free for all. I am glad though that I went to the museum and show. The musical was pretty kickass. I don't think it ranks very high in my musical list but for the music and everything...

London at the first glance

Sitting in Caffee Nero (the type they use makes the O look like a D so at first I was really excited to go eat at cafe nerd and use their free wifi, oh well) updating and watching all the london folk go about their day. The first thing I noticed when glancing out the window of the airplane was the giant highway going through the rolling acres and the fact that the cars were all on the wrong side. Second was the castle of course. But you have to love it that when you land suddenly the voice over the loudspeaker telling you arrived is a british accented ground crew. I thought they might have been hiding the british stewardess in the back until we got there then let her out as a little surprise.     Customs was fairly easy, specially since that was what I was the most nervous about. I didn't even have to show my fake itinerary. The guy just asked me about school and stuff like that. It did take an hour to get through that line though. And yes I had the 9 hour flight next to...

Alicante in Warp Speed

By -
Alright these are going to be quick over views since I really have to catch up on this blog and get back to being up to date by only a few days and not a couple weeks.         So in summary we had Alicante, Spain. There I met a giant group of students from the university there through a guy I met at the hostel who had a friend apart of the group (just to clear up the how i met people question). Most of the students were from the US but some weren't. All in all I met a bunch of translators for me. Some key points from Alicante were hanging out, going to the beach at night, dancing in the club with some free champagne bottle from the hecklers on the street, and salsaing. As part of their class they had to go to a flaminco show so of course I tagged along. Turns out although it was authentic flaminco it was nothing like what you would think it would be. You would picture girls in long flowing skirts dancing with some guys right? I think this would normally be...
