Down to the Wire!

After a truly insane past 48 hours, I am at the gate for the flight that will take me from DC to Germany and then on to COPENHAGEN! Even though I'm sitting here with my boarding pass in hand, I am still in a state of disbelief that everything has come together. There has been no shortage of drama in my preparations. As of 11pm yesterday, the following crises were still slowly unfolding:

Before and After packing

1. I didn't have my passport (it was supposedly in the mail).
2. I was missing a medication I need to take with me (all the pharmacies in Maryland were out of it).
3. My suitcases were not fully packed (I had to pack and repack them 3 times).
4. My computer was out of space (though I had visited the Apple store to try to resolve the problem, the process to transfer data wasn't working).

Passport? Check! 

Miraculously, everything came together! My passport arrived via FedEx at 10:30am, my dad picked up my medication from Virginia (thanks, Dad!), my suitcases are packed, and with the help of AppleCare, my computer has enough space to add the photos I know I will be taking on this trip.

I realized that I will need to provide a little bit of background about my Danish family for anyone who didn't read my last abroad blog. I'll work on that post from the plane, so for now I am going to sign out. See you in Kopenhavn.

Leaving for Copenhagen in 2012 and today!
