Today is the first day of the rest of my life!

I am opening a new chapter in my life.  Today I leave a job I have had for nine years to go off  to another country!  I don't think that this has really all sunk in yet.  Not only will I be teaching with new colleagues, and teaching new students, but the language they speak, and the country and continent will be entirely different- Holy Crap, I am moving across the world-how crazy is this shit!  LOL

I purchased my plane ticket today, so I guess it is official (even though I don't have a visa yet!-OMG).  It's going to take me 45 hours to get to Kazakhstan (just south of Russia).  My flight Itinerary is as follows:

I leave Logan airport in Boston on the 16th of August @ 7:55 pm- I head to NY.

I get held in NY for 20 Hours!!!   Camp in New York with the homeless.

leave NY and head to Istanbul at 6:25pm the following day.

arrive in Istanbul @ 11:15 am.

leave @ Istanbul @ 6:40.

Arrive in Astana Kazakhstan 2:45pm.

Die of exhaustion!!!!
