So the last 24hrs have been a cultural immersion, city life adventure, subway madness, and historically

Its good, no matter what state or day! I love Chick-FilI-A!

Stopped for lunch in some town off the highway. Travel is interesting but the people who watch the travelers are very interesting :).

On the bus

noreply@blogger.com (An Inspired FA) — Sat, 05 Mar 2011 11:27:00 +0000

Ok so the morning has consisted of packing, unpacking, packing and re-packing.

Needless to say, I didn't sleep, however I did rest until the next idea came to mind "did I pack that, where did I put that, oh no I forgot to pack my camera, gosh where is my phone charger?!?!"

So, after meeting the crew of peeps going, we finally made it to the bus, all sharing the same stories of how sporadic our night was.

We are on our journey, to the NYC and wherever else that seems compelling to visit.

Updates of state lines next.....if I'm awake.

Packing Begins

noreply@blogger.com (An Inspired FA) — Fri, 04 Mar 2011 16:07:00 +0000

So I woke up this morning to realize, the chore I hate the most is right beneath my list of class work to accomplish. Why does packing annoy me so much? Perhaps it is the rigurous planning of the future for 8 days, and carefully planning the weather, activities, and simply trying not to "look" like a tourist!haha However, they never seem to teach this, so it must be instinct?

The packing process: Now, I need to find that fanny pack I bought at Disney World, my "I love NC" t-shirt and the "I have been there, done that, and bought the t-shirt" t-shirt from Myrtle Beach. Yeah, that should do it. I think I found my new wardrobe for the next 8 days! I'm sure I will fit in just right.haha. Let me get to packing....after my work of course!

An suggestions to the NYC wardrobe are greatly appreciated lol.

Check back for a update!
