I am currently sitting in the Columbus Airport, waiting on our plane to arrive to take us to Atlanta (our first stop on the way to Rio). I have been anxious all day to just begin the trip and be there already. I can’t wait to be in the warm weather when I step outside the airport for the first time! I also am excited to be immersed in such a culturally rich environment. However, there has been a lot of waiting around instead of getting gone for the beginning of this journey. This is a stark contrast from what the rest of my day has been like, as I got up and went to class, then raced home to finish packing before we had to meet at the bus. In my haste, I seem to have forgotten one of the more important items…..sunscreen. But, Im guessing it won’t be too hard to find in an airport or even when we land. Since that realization of forgetting something, I have been paranoid of leaving something else important at home or setting down a personal item and forgetting where I put it. We are about to board soon though. I didn’t go to sleep last night so I’m hoping I can catch up a little on the plane.
