So guys if you read the last post you know we left EARLY…… as in so ealy some people didnt go to sleep. I however was not one of those people. I repacked my pack… (Yes Mom for the billionth time) and crashed in a corner. Apparently that has been called a "gift"- the ability to sleep ANYWHERE. I do mean ANYWHERE. The first night of Launch I fell asleep on a concrete floor at the AIM training center and slept most of the night.
What started off as a simple journey from the airport in Atlanta to JFK turned into an adventure when we discovered we had to pay a $25 domestic bag fee, unexpected of course. So we pay the fee and arrive at JFK where we are supposed to catch a flight to Poland, no big deal. Most international flights don't leave until the evening so we hang out in the airport. grab some lunch and check in for our flight to Poland. Checking in we discovered the flight is DELAYED (Note to self: Welcome to the WR). Time to be flexible- we catch our delayed flight to Warsaw Poland and discover we have missed our connecting flight to Romania. So we flew through Munich to get here. Also when we landed in Munich we had what seemed like seconds to catch our flight to Bucharest. So we jump off the plane, hop on a shuttle, sprint through security/customs, sprint to the terminal, hop on another shuttle that takes to our plane. The plane we just got off and caught the original shuttle from is maybe 150 yards away from our new plane (Note to self: Welcome to the WR where sometimes travel days get hectic). And land in Bucharest Romania!!!!! (Note to Terry Byrd: BOO YA)
I am hanging out in Bucharest with one of my squadmates and our squad leader waiting on the other squad leader to arrive. At which point me and my squadmate will hop on a train and travel to Oradea where we will begin our months work. So hear we go!!!!!
