T-minus 15 hours and counting

A big thank you to the people who sent me $250 today. I deeply appreciate it and it is a nice send-off! I'm about 3/4 of the way done packing... I have everything laid out and I'm just waiting on the dryer to finish before I start putting it in my bag. It's between 45 and 65 degrees there and it makes it a little hard to pack since it's not cold enough for a real jacket yet not hot enough to not need something more. I think I'll be ok though... I have a good mix of clothes I can layer. I also got some snacks today, so we'll be set for the flight and possible train rides we might be taking on Friday. I'm beginning to get excited and surprisingly, I wish our flight tomorrow was longer. I know, all you people who hate long overseas flights must think I'm crazy, but I enjoy them for some bizarre reason! Brandy's husband is taking us to the airport tomorrow and I'm getting picked up at 9:30 am. Our first flight leaves Roanoke at 12:15 and lands into into Chicago at 1:00. Our second flight leaves Chicago at 4:25 pm and lands in Stockholm at 7:45 am. My phone won't work over there and won't be on at all. However, I should be online quite a bit so if you want to get in touch, email is the way to go. I'm am actually off to go stuff my bag now. The next time I'm online, I'll be somewhere in Scandinavia/Europe!
