Some snacks, books, music, and an oversized suitcase or two and off I go! I'm spending the night in Chicago tonight with a Crate and Barrel relative in the area, Maria. She has been a wonderful and gracious host I am happy to report! My flights to Chicago were pleasant- the first I upgraded to first class so my suitcases wouldn't cost me more than the plane ticket. Then from Dallas to Chicago, I got into a wonderful book donated to the Paige travel fund by Aunt Diji.Tomorrow is the big day and I can hardly wait! Leah, my friend from Richmond with whom I'm rooming, is already there. She reports that our three other roommates are from Holland, France, and Russia! I hope our cultures don't clash too much, but provide us all with a new worldview after the trip.
Although I'm very disappointed about missing the White Panda concert at Richmond the other night, I do feel lucky to be far out of the path of Hurricane Irene and the random earthquake last week. Please Richmond readers, be safe!
Well, I have an eight hour flight and a time change to look forward to tomorrow, so I should get some shut-eye. Expect lots more very soon!
