Ready for Takeoff!

Me at Washington/Dulles Airport...Bright and Early

     Mother, Father, and I arrived at Washington/Dulles International Airport around 7:30 this morning. After a difficult goodbye, I was on my way through security. The process went smoothly and was not any different then when I went to Egypt last year, even with the new regulations. I met up with two other students from my group, and we boarded a rather small connecting flight. The flight to Newark, New Jersey was turbulent and very noisy, but I really enjoyed seeing all of the snow. We also had a clear view of the New York City skyline including the Empire State Building and the Statue of Liberty. Now I am enduring a five hour layover in New Jersey with my two classmates, luckily we were able to find Internet. Now I am a lot less nervous and even more excited than before!!!
