beginnings................

Today is the beginning of the third stage of this voyage. First stage was filling out all the applications and waiting the seemingly eternal wait for a decision. Second stage was completing the coursework and garnering a concept of Globalism. Today , I leave for DC and tie up some loose ends, while creating many more. I am concerned however, as I have flown many many times and always receive check in notifications 24 hours before departure. I am at t-minus 10 hours and have had no communication about my flight since December....guess I will see how the last few hours go and update my post later..... safe journeys to all.............we meet each other soon!
