Well, I'm in london right now. Next week I'm in Istanbul, Holland the week after that, and then back here the following week. After that, it's off to Philly and college.
I got here last night via Korea (say it aloud. go ahead - it sounds cool. 'via korea' hehe) where I almost missed my flight. What happened was that I had a 6 hour layover there, which I spent sleeping fitfully. When I finally deemed it close enough to my boarding time to go to my gate (which I didn't know the number of because I'd gotten my boarding pass in Guam), I realized there was a problem. Picture it. It's about 15 minutes until the flight leaves, I've just woken up near gate 45, and my flight is boarding at gate 21. Which happens to be about a mile away. Literally. So I began my half-asleep sprint, and I made it, just barely. The Korean staff kept saying to me, "congratulations, you're the last one on the plane." Which realy just slowed me down, because I was thinking, 'do I get a prize or a free upgrade or something? Why do they keep saying that.'
The rest of the trip was fairly unremarkable apart from the fact that the guy next to me on the plane had the mp3 player i'm planning on buying, so I got to check it out.
