Sitting in the International Terminal waiting to board my flight. Flying first class is amazing (not a profound statement, I know) and I got through checking my baggage and security in 5 minutes.
A few pictures above from the start of my adventure:
- As I was packing, I realized that I was bringing both pairs of these shoes; clearly necessities for my trip. The Cole Haan heels for nice dinners and the soccer shoes in case I find a pick-up game I want to join. A nice balance.
- Missy sat by my suitcase for much of the morning looking sad. My life partner, for sure.
- Okay, you guys, the bottom two pictures are amazing. Look closely. On the left, you'll see the directions for the electric toilet in the Virgin Atlantic first class lounge, with special directions on butt washing. And on the right, the buttons you push for a full "carwash." Just too good to pass up without sharing. Do you die?!
On a slightly more serious note (b/c there really is no good transition after talking about public bathroom butt washers)...
I really am filled with such gratitude as I head off on this adventure. Thinking back to where I was 2-3 years ago, I am so thankful for the strength and support of my amazing family, friends, colleagues, etc. I'm thankful that I'm independent and am really working to "seize the day" and make the most of this place in my life. I am beyond privileged to be going on this trip and to have the encouragement and love of all of the people in my life. I can't wait for the adventures-to-come in the next few weeks and will do my best to capture the details--the colors that make up London, the accents/languages I hear, the smells I encounter, and the incredible places I'll go.
