Day before Departure


Today is my very last day of classes for my B.S. EVER!!! I have one more presentation to attend to and two more papers to turn in for my last quarter of school.

In 15 hours, Gabe and I will be departing at 3am to start our last international trip together as an unmarried couple. We will be stopping in New York for 3 days to visit a family friend of Gabe's and Trangy. Of course Gabe wants to go see the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, the Empire State building and all the "touristy" stuff.

I suggested we take it easy and try out the restaurants and wine selection of New York but apparently Gabe has a different idea on how to travel in New York. He'll be the one with the fanny pack, juggling his video camera, still camera, and shouting directions of where I need to stand for the best light in Times Square with all the other tourists. Hopefully, Trang and I will have some alone time sometime in the 3 day period to explore a different scene:)

After our 3 day stint in NYC we will be departing America on March 15th for Timisoara, Romania and I will not return to my homeland for 3 months. Although I have done this many times before, it is one last adventure before we start a family and I have to actually participate in this concept called stability.

I am hoping to keep this blog updated as much as possible and upload many photos of the adventures to come. Of course, at the same time, I will want to be participating every chance I get to be in the Romanian culture and way of life. So I will try my best to keep this updated for everyone back home. Best of luck to everyone on everything they are doing while I am gone, take care and I will be in contact!!
