If anyone wants to join the world race and is like me, (where world race becomes ALOT if not ALL firsts for you, like first time flying) here are some future warnings:

1. When preparing to book a room and you don’t like being alone, double check where everyone is staying in relation to where you are staying near the launch site and make sure that you can walk there or have money to bus or drive to meet with them.
2. When booking a room via the internet make sure to double check if the confirmation you get back is JUST a booking confirmation OR a PAYMENT confirmation. You don’t want to get stuck in LA with no room and no money.
3. Make sure you have all of the things you need (even if you don’t think you need them) because you can get rid of somethings before you launch. That includes contact information for those of your squad that are holding your tickets, and the arrival time and meeting place.
4. Make sure to bring your cell phone. You most likely won’t be able to use it in other countries BUT while you are waiting to launch  you have  sure way to get a hold of anyone incase of an emergency that is much quicker and efficient than a computer.
5. Try not to take meds that make you woozy before or during the flight.
6. If you are feeling light headed DO NOT look down look out. It is a better view anyway.
I am sure that there are some other things that if I could think of the countless things that happened but right now I am enjoying the gondola music that is coming from Hong Kong’s transfer flight’s waiting room area.
