_Ni Hao AMERICA

_So I am blogging to you all from the other side of the world and although you all may be sleeping, I'm still going to keep you informed as to what is happening and what I am doing on a everyday basis. I'm so excited. After an extraneous flight that I almost threw up on I realized when arriving at the WORLDS BIGGEST AIRPORT that it was worth the wait. Tay, Marv and I (friends on the trip) were all sitting next to one another in the middle of UA897....Thank Goodness for that because it would of been uncomfortable sitting next to strange people. It's definitely ten minutes to 6 pm over here and its probably 6 am or maybe even 5am over there. I don't know how to figure that out yet. Trooping it 6am this morning to Albany to catch our flight to Washington was an interesting trip as well. The plane we got on first off was some real crazy off of a movie type nonsense. It was a JET. As we all know to board a plane there is an extension from the gate to the plane. However, this plane we had to walk outside onto the pavement then leave our carry on bag outside and then enter the jet. Now, I don't know about you guys but I am claustrophobic so when I entered I was all breathing heavy but I calmed down a bit when I realized that I was sitting by myself. The funny Part is I am afraid of HEIGHTS, making this trip even more of a challenge. Not only am I overcoming personal fear, I am also over coming the fear of being cuturally challenged.
