Welcome to JFK Airport

All I can hear in my head right now is that little turtle from Finding Nemo. “Do you have your exit buddy?!?!” Why, yes. I do!

While wandering through the airport I noticed a sea of burgundy shirts. Middle school students all excited about one thing or another. It turned out that they were members of an organization called People to People. They’re going to Sydney, too! I got to know their lead chaperone and she took me under her wing, allowing me to tag along with her kids so that I don’t get lost heading through LAX at my next stop.
Right now I’m sitting in a semi-circle with three girls (one of whom has a GIANT bag of candy) who are terribly excited about their adventure. Now that my eyes have gone back from puffy read to their normal color, I’m right there with them.

While masses of people weave back and forth through each other, my heart is trying to beat itself out of my ribcage. The next 36 hours are going to be the craziest I may have ever experienced. Thankfully, it looks like I’m taken care of.

I’ll be tweeting the whole way to Sydney. Thanks for keeping up with me! I have internet in the airports so leave me a message and I’ll get back to you for sure.
