From last night:
I though i'd be writing this blog post on a computer but unfortunately the night before my trip my electricity has gone down due to what seems to e a mini-monsoon that has knocked out a generator near my house...OOOH! The lights have come back on, time to continue packing...
Present Time: Philadelphia, PA 3:50PM.
So I fell asleep at about 1AM last night after just finishing packing. I woke up at 4:30AM, took a shower, double checked that i had everything i needed. Was out the door at 4:50 and Forrest was out there waiting already (he lives a couple blocks from my house and since i was getting picked up i offered him a ride). Molly was dropped off about ten minutes later as i also told her if she wanted a ride i'd gladly have her along. So Mike came to pick us up at 5:15 right when he said he'd be there and we were now embarking on our 3 1/2 week European adventure.
Now you know when everyone tells you they had the "flight from hell" and even though it sounds like it was bad, it really wasn't that bad. Well that was the case with me, although the poltergeist baby behind me threw a fit before takeoff and about till an hour after, and was kicking my seat (even in his sleep!) it wasn't that bad. I read half of "Outliers!" by Malcolm Gladwell, so far it reminds me a lot of the out of the ordinary thinking that was published in "Freakonomics". I am really enjoying it as of now and i'll probably finish it on the Leg from Philly to London. The book is about how success isn't always how it is portrayed be the masses and there are so many factors that are involved in the creation of a success.
So now in Philly, we've got about 2 hours till our next flight and all the 21 year olds are going to start heading to the Airport Bars while me and Lindley (the other 20 year old) head to the McDonalds play place (not really, but not being 21 makes me feel like a kid).
Well time to head over to get some food, maybe i'll write b4 i leave, if not i'll get back on when we have time at the hotel!
À de grandes vacances!
