1 Traveling Day Down, 1 To Go

Today has been quite a llloong day. I got up at 3:30 to get around and finish packing. It was sad to have to leave my family, but at the same time exciting to think that I am off on my Euro-adventure.
My Wonderful Family -- At 5:30 AM


First Class Flying -- What a little internet seat research and some daring can get you for free!

I arrived in Arkansas and then spent much of the afternoon relaxing and pairing down some of the things as too pack a little less for Germany. It finally dawned on me that my friend Sam, who is also going with me was here in Siloam Springs. I called him up and we and a few other friends had dinner together then watched Night at The Museum (slightly cheesy--especially the 2nd
time, but good).

It is strange to think that the next time I post on here I will be in a completely different time zone. Some of us are meeting tomorrowing morning at XNA and flying to DFW before taking off for Germany for a glorious (we will really see) 9 1/2 hour flight tomorrow afternoon. I should hit the hay soon. Aufetetersein!

Guten Tag! Exactly one week from now I will be making my way over the blue yonder they call the Atlantic to Deutschland! Shown above is a picture of my engineering classmates and myself, taken two years ago. Pardon irreverent Preston on the end, but otherwise I think it makes a great picture. Our group will be blessed also to have a fellow engineer, Sam (in the middle with blue) accompanying us. Schuss!

Soon Departing For Deutschland

In just under two short weeks I will be heading over to Germany for a month long studies trip in Wurzburg, Northern Bavaria. While over there, as best as I can I will can an e-journal and copy and paste it to here. In addition, I will attempt to include picture content. I am excited and looking forward to the journey!
