It is 1:35PM and we’re all sitting at the airport waiting to check in for our flight to Santiago. It was a long line to check in, but I’m excited to go through security and see airplanes along the gates. My group made it through security and checked in at the gate with Christine and our plane had not arrive yet. Then Edith, Mallory and I went to grab some food in the airport and had endless chats. The food was tasted pretty good and was very healthy. It is now 3:16PM and we have return to the gate area. It is a cloudy day out and the airport is not super busy at this hour. It is a little more than an hour until we depart from Columbus, Ohio. I had an obsession with airplanes and how loved it when it was time to take off or land and it is still something that I am looking forward to experience again! I’m excited to see a new city and experience summer in the middle of what is usually winter for me. Most importantly, I am so excited to learn and experience a new culture, language and try out some street food while in Chile.
