Pre-departure Jitters

I'm leaving on a Jet Plane; don't know when I'll be back again. OK, it's not quite that dramatic, but you get the idea.

I meet up with some other AHA students at the airport in Madrid

Here I am sitting at the bar inside the terminal dinking coffee and trying not to be so nervous about flying to Madrid on my own and being immersed in a foreign culture and language.  I swear, I have checked my pockets at least a dozen times to make sure my passport and visa were there.  I would be lying if I said I wasn’t at least a little nervous. 

On another note, I am not the kind of person who expected to get all teary eyed over leaving everyone, but I must admit it was a little sad.  I am sure once I get over there, everything will be too new and exciting to miss anyone.  I said all my goodbyes, and even had a few send-off dinners and parties, which consisted of great food and the most nifty little travel packets.  I have everything from brush-ups for the plane to miniature lent rollers and first-aid kits I have developed a slight obsession with miniature travel stuff.  I am sooooo set.....I think. 

Well, I had better put up my laptop and pay attention to my flight.  Wouldn’t it be a bummer if I missed it now.  I will upload this as soon as I get an internet connection.  Hasta la vista en Segovia.
