Zurich Airport

After racing from one terminal to the next in Atlanta with a carry-on that is at least 50 pounds (no wheels!) I finally made it to my flight, out of breath and very hot and sweaty!  I had less than 10 minutes before I had to board my plane, and used that time to make a few last minute phone calls to my friends and family. 

The flight was cake—I was on the side of the plane where there are only 2 seats and I totally lucked out because the seat next to me was empty! So I stretched out and slept the whole time- who needs business class when you’ve got karma?! I’ve definitely paid my fair share in transcontinental flights stuck in the middle of 2 fat strangers.  I woke up just as breakfast was being served and we landed within the hour. 

I just got off the plane in Zurich—or what I like to call the Madison Avenue of Airports.  Trying to find the correct terminal to Prague I pass Hermes, Armani, Gucci, Hugo Boss—its ridiculous!  Everyone here is so chic and dressed to the nines—and its only 7:30 am!  Then again there are also businessmen in the bar drinking, so clearly there’s a different lifestyle here.

About time to board the plane… I’m SO EXCITED!! Woo hoo!

Charleston Airport

I am sitting in the Charleston Airport terminal waiting to board my flight to Atlanta.  It’s finally sinking in that I’m leaving.  I have been so busy with my internship and work, not to mention trying to make the most of my final days/weeks in Charleston that I haven’t even had time to get excited about this wonderful journey I am about to embark on.  But now that I’ve gotten through security and the only thing I have to wait on is boarding the plane I can think about the next two months ahead of me and I’m so stoked! I’m also a little anxious, and definitely nervous that I’ve packed wayyyyy too much (as always).

Time to board… this is really happening! I will really miss all my friends and family but I’m looking forward to the new friends I am going to make and exploring new cities!!

I’m new to this whole blog thing.  But I figured this would be the easiest way to not only document my travels for myself but also to keep everyone else who cares about what I’m doing updated as well.  I’m no wordsmith so I’m giving fair warning—I’m not aiming for entries revealing some eloquent insight to life (although if the inspiration arises, you may get lucky…). This is merely a narrative to my European adventure, so enjoy!!
