leaving tomorrow

Hello again
So tomorrow is the big day. I am packed, well almost, and I must say I am a little bit nervous. But I have 5 copies of my passport and two suitcases full of stuff (see picture at right) so I think I am just about ready. My biggest concerns at the moment are the weather in Poland and what the in-flight movies will be. I hope they are entertaining.

So right now I am about to go look at pictures from my father's trip to Egypt (he just got back an hour ago) and I think I will eat a waffle.

I leave with the following messages:
To members of the D, F or D-F family - I will see you all in six short weeks
To Ezra - I will take a picture of the fire escapte instructions in the Warsaw hotel so dont worry
To anyone from Tannens - only about 4 and a half more months
To everyone else - If I did not get a chance to call you or see you or contact you in anyway I'm sorry. I will miss you all and will talk to you the moment I get back.

Shalom l'kulam ( meaning peace unto all)

First Post!

Hello all,
This is my first post. I am currently in Chicago visiting Ezra. It was cold. I ate ice cream. That made me colder. Then I went to a humanities class and was pretty lost but I was amused by the Danish accent of the professor. The class discussed Bayle, his philosophies and whether or not he was an atheist. It was quite interesting, though I had not read the packet so I did not really know what was going on. Though I did follow when one of the students mentioned a Seinfeld episode where people think that George and Jerry are gay and they keep denying it but then follow up with "not that theres anything wrong with that". I am not sure how it related.

So this will conclude my first post. I hope that once I am actually abroad it will be more interesting.

I bid you a good day
