It's official! I said my "Goodbyes" to everyone and the last ones, were mom and dad. Now I am on my way to Serbia. Saying goodbye to Mom and Dad was hard; on the bus I had an overwhelming feeling of "What in the hell am I doing?!" I wasn't sure what I was doing or if 6 months is too long to be away from my family. I know I will be with Jan and Jagos, but the thought of 6 months or183 days is very scary! The bus ride was decent, but I was crying off and on through the whole ride.
Once into Boston, I had to wrestle three BIG suitcases, my carry-on, and my purse into the airport. A "bellman" came to my rescue about halfway to the door and said he would help me. He said come see my friend, meanwhile, I am thinking great I found some creep who is going to steal my luggage or something! He then took me to see his friend at the counter. He said "I told her I would take care of her!" The guy asked me for my passport and flight information and that was it. I didn't have to pay for the extra luggage!! The "bellman" took me over and said, "You pay me $150.00 cash, and I will save you $100.00; because it would have cost you $250.00!" I said, "Okayyyy." I wasn't sure about the whole thing; I was thinking to myself, "SHIT...I told him too much, his little friend over there is going to steal my shit and I am going to show up in Serbia with a nice purse and polka-dotted carry-on. Despite the paranoya I did it anyway.
My flight from Boston to Frankfurt, Germany was a little more then 7 hours and ...I didn't sleep a WINK! I was excited and nervous. I watched many movies and had a glass of wine to relax myself, but it didn't work. I finally got into Frankfurt at about 3:00a.m. (American Time). A funny thing happened on the airplane... the guy who was sitting next to me asked if I was okay when we were landing. He noticed I was trying to fly the airplane (Just like DAD).
