I can't believe the day is finally here. "September 4th." I've been repeating that constantly for the last 10 months... September 4th, September 4th, September 4th. septemberfourth. That combination of sounds no longer means the 4th day of the 9th month to me - but the beginning of an adventure, the beginning of a new life.
Despite my mind-numbing excitement, I still snooze my alarm several times...
Here starts a day long voyage to the other side of the world.
Car: Fargo to Minneapolis
Plane: Minneapolis to Chicago, Chicago to Paris (CDG Roissy)
Train (the RER B): from Roissy to PARIS
Mom, Tay, and I pack in the car and head down to Minneapolis together. We arrive early. We spend a bit more time together, before our goodbyes. Mom cries, which makes me want to cry but I keep it in. Final hugs.
I turn to to check in.
"There's is a problem... your return date is more than 3 months after your arrival date..."
"Um, I have a Visa..."
"OHHHhhh okay! Here's your boarding pass! Have a nice flight!"
"OHHHhhh okay! Here's your boarding pass! Have a nice flight!"
