I'm leaving on a jet plane!

Today is the day! After months of preparation and anticipation, I am finally embarking on the journey of a lifetime. The last few weeks have been filled with visiting and spending time with the people who are most important in my life. A year away from home will be difficult, but will totally be worth the incredible experiences that await me.

At noon today, my flight will depart from DFW airport and will touch down fourteen hours later in South Korea at Incheon International Airport. Hopefully there won't be too much turbulence. Fortunately, Korean Air is supposed to be a really nice airline.

Time to turn off my electronics for now. I'll be sure to keep everyone posted after I get to my hotel in Seoul.

Time until I arrive in Korea: 14 hours!!
