In the beginning...

So, it's official.

I've finally booked a flight to Europe, and can now answer the oh-so-popular question "When are you leaving?" I'll fly out of Indianapolis on January 12th, and will swing by Boston before enjoying a lovely little layover (4 hours...) in Dublin, Ireland. After that, I'll land in Frankfurt Germany, where I'll stay for a two week Global Orientation Conference. And after that, France. I guess we could call this blog The Long Journey to France, but I suppose that might be a bit cliche. (As if "La Belle France" isn't?)

Anyway, I'm currently finding myself in the middle of a packing crisis. I haven't begun packing in the technical sense of the word. But almost constantly, I look through my closet and panic when I think about how little my two suitcases will carry.

But I guess it's appropriate to start to count down.

22 days.
