The Beginning!


Today, at 1:00 local time, I began my first solo european adventure. I left Nashville this morning to begin on my trip to Madrid. I left my mother and grandmother joyously teary eyed at the entrance to security. The first leg of my journey has me stopping off in Atlanta at Hartsfield-Jackson Airport where I layover for 3 hours. I suppose that as a 21 year old, I should be nervous or timid traveling without accompaniment. However, I move through the international E Concourse at HJA with the greatest of ease. I know exactly where to stop for the best food, exactly where I'm going, and exactly where to sit to stay away from the droves of people moving about the station. I even know where to find free wireless. :) So, it's 4:10 local time and I'm just about ready to keep going. The nausea that I experienced on the first tiny little plane has all but subsided. I'll go grab a ginger ale and be on my way to the next flight.

Vaya con Dios

  1. Mmm...can't wait to read more! It's already too quiet in Nashville since you left. But on the plus side...I'm having fun driving your car and controlling the REMOTE!
