Bon Voyage to Me

This is my last night at home! Luckily I will still be able to spend some time with my family tomorrow because my father, mother, brother, and sister all elected to help drive me and my morbidly obese pack of suitcases from Harrisburg to the Philadelphia Airport. And this was even before Lauren and Timothy knew that there would be a trip to KOP and the Cheesecake Factory afterward! When I heard that my family was galavanting to the Cheesecake Factory immediately after my departure from the country to celebrate my year-long absence from their lives I considered canceling my flight and contract and joining them because I love the Cheesecake Factory so much but GUESS WHAT! THERE ARE CHEESECAKE FACTORIES IN KOREA. I AM REALLY HAPPY RIGHT NOW!

My flight from Philly to Dulles leaves at 10:16 in the morning and my flight from Dulles to Incheon leaves at 1:25 PM and arrives about 15 hours later at 4:35 KST in Korea! Actually I guess that would be 16:35. I have a window seat on my first flight and an aisle seat on my flight to Korea which is pretty good because yeah I would like to be able to look out the window and see foreign soil as we land but seriously how many times am I going to have to get up to go to the bathroom during a 15-hour flight? At least 4.

Thanks to everyone who was able to come to my going away party today and a billion thanks to my parents for supporting me and loaning me money to buy my plane ticket, and especially my mom for helping me buy all the things I needed for my trip and being very helpful. I know you think that you annoy me when you remind me 100 times to pack my retainers, but I'm really just glad that you care! I love you all, and next time you hear from me I will be on the other side of the world!

HOT DOG PIZZA??!?!
