All journeys have secret destinations of which the traveler is unaware. – Martin Burber
Welcome to my blog! I'm very excited to have started my journey to Aberdeen, Scotland where I will be spending the next five(ish) months of my life. I'm hoping to use this as a place to write down some of the adventures I have while on study abroad. I also hope to write fairly regularly and keep it up to date, whether that will happen is another story. We'll see.
Tonight, I have made it as far as Romulus, MI. thanks to my lovely father and his excellent driving. It has been a smooth journey so far, the only hiccup we've experienced was a moment of panic thinking we'd missed the Skyway entrance, but we hadn't so no problem there. We haven't run into any birds of prey or Warbirds here in Romulus (my inner Star Trek nerd is going crraazy!) Just a lot of motels/hotels and some pretty good Middle Eastern food. Tomorrow I get on a plane headed for Amsterdam and then Sunday morning (or for my internal clock and most of you, the middle of Saturday night) I'll be taking a plane from Amsterdam to Aberdeen.
Being back in the mitten reminds me of all my friends in Kalamazoo (and on study abroad in other places across the globe) who I will miss very much while I'm away. Not to mention my family and friends in Chi-town and scattered in various places throughout the U.S.
But despite missing you all, just think of all the stories I'll get to write and tell you when we meet again! And that's exciting in of itself!
That's all for now! I hope that the next time I write I'll be sitting in Aberdeen. In the meantime it's off to bed for me, to dream of airplanes and things starting with Scot (Scotland, Scotch, Scottish men, Scotch tape...)
