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.

You should bring some of your favorite movies with you to Sweden to watch in case you get homesick at all. You probably won't, but just in case. Maybe the swede's need a lesson in cinematographic arts also
ReplyDeleteYes, that is a legitimate idea...but I'm concerned about the weight limit for my bags and thought I may just try downloading movies on a torrent site? Or even trying to log in to a netflix account? And you totally shifted my paradigm. This entire time I have been thinking about how I will be impacted by the Swede's,but now I see that I can be just as much an influence! I will keep that in mind when packing. Thanks Doctor. :)
