Today I received my staging information and booked my fight for it, thus making it official! It feels more real now for some reason, since I actually have the flight documents in my hand. After booking that info, I had to fill out some more paperwork and take an online security quiz, and now I'm all set! My flight leaves for Miami early on February 7th. I'll check in later that evening, and then we have official staging on the 8th. Finally, at 11:25pm on the 8th I will be on my way to Paraguay!!! AHHHH!
Looking at my calendar, I am realizing how little time left in the states I have. Every weekend is booked with various reunions/festivities, and the week days are quickly filling up as well. Between all my gatherings and packing (which is incredibly difficult to do for 2 years, by the way), I have a feeling my last few weeks in the states will fly by.
Hope you all had a wonderful holiday and new years!
I agree it feels much more real now with the official flight info! I get into Miami around 1ish on the 7th!
ReplyDeleteP.s.- I tried to find you on FB and I couldn't! I've been talking to this other girl Dawn from our group.
I get in just after 11. We should meet up in the airport to kill time before check in! I also know someone in our group. He is actually a friend of a friend and went to Illinois with me, but I have never met him. Gotta love these social networking sites!
ReplyDeleteAlso, weird! i tried to find you as well but it didn't work. hmm... try this: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1155510068
The new facebook privacy settings confuse me, so maybe i accidentally made it private. i think i just changed it, so just search my first and last name if that doesnt work.
Congrats! I will also be heading to Paraguay, but I'm not leaving until May :) I look forward to reading your posts about training and life in country, since I will be doing the same thing a few months later!
