T minus 5 hours

SO.

I step on a plane in FIVE hours.
I've pretty much finished packing.
Still some odds 'n ends with a laptop but I'm feelin' good!

I'll post here once I get settled in Germany or perhaps during my layover in Dulles. We shall see!

Here is where I will be:

United - Flight # 197 / 07/23/09
10:08 AM Depart Raleigh-Durham (RDU) - 11:08 AM Arrive Wash-Dulles (IAD)

United - Flight # 916 / 07/23/09
05:15 PM Depart Wash-Dulles (IAD) - 07:10 AM (Jul 24) Arrive Frankfurt (FRA)

Now here is the word to describe my feelings right about now.

Utterly and completely...

STOKED.

Auf Wiedersehen America! Halloooo Deutschland!!!
