Getting Ready
11:10 pm the night before I leave - I'm updating my ipod with all the new music I got from Dad and with random podcasts to make the 8.5 hour plane flight more bearable. I'm doing laundry, re-packing, and making sure i haven't forgotten anything. That's not entirely exciting but oh well.
I had a great weekend with Dad in Richmond and with Mom and Mike, Albert & Shana, & The Pollocks in Clinton. Excited about Europe but not excited about tomorrow. here's the itinerary:
Leave Clinton at 10:30 AM
lunch
Airport
Flight from Raleigh to NYC 2:15-3:50 PM
3 hour layover in NYC
Flight from NYC to Venice: 7pm - Tuesday, 3:30 AM Eastern Time (aka 9:30 AM Venetian time).
God help me on that flight. I heard horror stories of one of Mom's long flights where there were dogs, cats, and crying babies. 8.5 hours of that and i would be testing if cats can land on all 4 legs when they are dropped from a cruising altitude of 16,000 feet.
But hey, at least i'm not doing schoolwork. And the trip ends with a Griffin.
