Airport

I have entered the International Terminal at the Portland Airport. Stayed up late packing, so I am a little tired but very excited to begin reading The Last Lecture, a book I have been wanting to read for a while. On our way to the airport, we ran into snails-pace traffic about 45 minutes from the airport. The only thought in my mind was that we were going to have to go straight to the airport rather than stop at REI in Portland. Based on a road trip I took over Spring Break I found a particular brand of under garments that one can wear for an extended period of time. As the elements will be quite grueling in Jordan, durable underwear will be an important item to have. So I left this morning with the intentions of buying two more pairs and had no other under garments packed. Therefore, with the traffic, I might have been forced to leave for Jordan with only the skivvies I had on. Luckily, traffic subsided and we were able to stop at REI.

I am pumped for this adventure, excited for the long travel time, and absolutely unsure as to what to expect. Stay posted. The first leg of the trip is Portland to Frankfurt. It is ten hours in the air, which could be three potential movies, three meals, reading both the Last Lecture and Lonely Plant Jordan, and conversations. The possibilities are endless but I better get off this CPU before I miss them. See you in Germany.
