>> A Little Tour of the Good Ole "US of A" <<

A lesson in flexibility, maybe a little sooner than we'd anticipated.

So after a day of cancelled flights, hours on hold with American Airlines, and finally rebooking a set of flights to take us on a wild goose chase around the US, we are finally sitting in the Raleigh, North Carolina airport awaiting our final flight, to London, England.

I guess you can either look at it as a delay to the beginning of a fabulous adventure, or you can just embrace it and decide that ever since you stepped through the security checkpoint, that the adventure begun.  I chose the latter.  Because Alexa receiving a full-blown security pat-down for the level of suspiciousness her "sparkly sweater", consuming excessive amounts of queso in Dallas, suffering through a flight behind a couple who just couldn't remain in their individual seats (cringe-worthy), and hearing the pilot casually announce that "well the left engine doesn't seem to feel like starting this morning, so we're just gonna manually open it and go from there!" (NOT comforting), I think it's safe to say that the adventure has most definitely begun!

And as hard as it is for us to see our already-arrived Londoners posting pictures of our gorgeous new home, I know that Anna, Alexa, David, Ben, and I still have quite the adventure ahead of us.  We will arrive in London at 6am and immediately proceed to our orientation (that lasts all day mind you) and our formal dinner tomorrow night (still on no sleep).

So here's to adventuring.  Here's to getting lost and figuring it out and being late and most of all…..LIVING IN LONDON! Soooo needless to say I'm not complaining too much ;)
