So my first blog isnt truely on the correct day but I'm transposing it from my journal online.
Aug 20, 2008
Scariest moments of my life, saying goodbye to family and giving and getting hugs. Choked a bit while hugging Jamie and saying "I love you and will miss you." Passing through the security gate was like a blur, took me a while to unpack everything (Cameras, laptops, boarding papers, passport, take off my shoes) and then repack it all with people pileing up behind me in line.
Sat at in the terminal with 4 strangers all talking about travel and the places they are going. Three of them are going to Australia for 10 days and then going to New Zealand for 15. It really is quite a small world as we all got to talking about the Airforce, as it seemed to be a commoniality with all of us. The older man of the group also mentioned he was a bird watcher and he has been to New Zealand before, he saw a male purple crested something, and a green feathered whatever. They all said that friends all agreed that New Zealand was the best place they have ever visited. So far its very encouraging.
The next few blogs may not make sense because at this point I'm crossing about a billion time zones and I have lost all track of the day or the time.
