T - 4

It's now time minus four hours! I'll be off to Logan International Airport within the hour, where I'll get my shoes checked for explosives, my boarding pass, and bored. Then, at 7:25 it's Virgin Atlantic (reportedly the world's most fun airline) to London and British Airways (my personal favorite airline) to Beirut. I'll get there tomorrow evening local time, and be driven to American University in Beirut. I'll pick my key up, and head to Penrose dorm, where I'll be spending the next month and a half. I'll also call my distant family that evening, and probably see them the next day. It's quite an adventure, really, even for someone who's been to the Middle East before. So - next time I talk to you will ensha'allah be from Beirut!
