I officially have about 3 weeks till I leave on my flight Jan. 14th from Orlando Airport to Stockholm with a 4 hour layover in New York. I also will be at 2 different airports in New York: La Guardia and JFK.
"Did not notice when I bought my ticket that it was two separate airports, but I figured I could take these 4 hours to go on a New York adventure...ride some taxis, eat a new york hot dog for lunch, and maybe even take a photo in Times Square. I guess I'll have to see..."
Also, GOOD NEWS! I received my Student Visa while I was away on vacation at Sanibel Island with the family! My dad texted me and told me the amazing news. That was a great day. :)
Things left on my departure to do list:
-Re-vamp my ipod with new tunes and shows to keep me entertained on my 15 hour flight. ***Suggestions are VERY MUCH APPRECIATED!***
-Buy snow boots (Ugg type shoes that are waterproof and -20 degree proof)
-Print out photos of my loved ones so I can post them up in my Swedish home
-Get web cam for Skype (fingers crossed for a Christmas Present!)
-Spend as much time as possible with my family, friends, and amazing boyfriend
This time of year always makes me so happy but as the days fly by I am definitely feeling a mix of excitement and sadness. I am going to miss all my family and friends so much. In fact, I just counted it, and I will be missing 4 weddings while I am gone! But I just know God has a plan for me, and that my loved ones will be right there for me when I come home. That thought keeps my heart at peace, and makes me that much more amped for Sweden.
