Yea, I hope a few stayed on this ever so interesting travel log.   So we last left Jeff and C on a flight to Salt Lake City to connect to Dulles here in DC.   Our flight was to land in Salt Lake at 7:47am and connecting flight was to leave at 8:43am.   And shortly after 1pm local time, we should have been in the ground in DC.   But here is…the rest of the story… Our Missoula flight circled...

... :P On this past Saturday I went with Cathy, Mom, and Cathy's Girl Scout troop (of which, 5 girls total are still hanging in to it, since ever since middle school they've been dropping like flies) to Dulles Airport's Air and Space Museum. There, I successfully managed to flip a space shuttle almost 120 degrees vertically & somehow still landed it in water (in a simulation :D ), and I took over both...

The Plan: To Germany today. To Dulles, then to Columbia, South Carolina on February 21.  First I will go through "reception" where I will be issued my clothing, get more immunizations (I already have tons from going to Thailand, but I am told I will have to get them again), and tons and tons of paperwork. On February 25 (the first anniversary of my father's death), I will start my training.  You...

...I sat listening to my ipod in the airport for ages... Unfortunately I must have put my ipod down somewhere because I haven't seen poor nanophant since then :( :( WOE My flight to Washington DC (Dulles) was not cancelled. I enquired after my luggage when I got there but the woman at the terminal could only tell me that she *thought* that my bag had gone to Denver. This was not good because I wasn't...

1) I saw a fisher cat at work from my corner office window. :-P 2) When I traveled from Washington Dulles back to Boston Logan I had to put all of my gels etc into a plastic bag and all I could think of was "Wow those amazing plastic bags, so important for national security, who knew that a $0.05 baggie could protect our country so well. I am so glad they thought of that! Where would we be without...

Ehehe...so I kinda slacked off posting at the very end. Sorry!! But I was running on 3 hours or less to sleep each day, so it was either sleep or posting in LJ, and sleep most definitely won that... I'm going up to New York tomorrow until Sunday, and I doubt that I'll have access to the internet while I'm there, so it'll have to wait til I come home! Busy busy busyyyy. But so lonely! T_

...of this year's AGU in America program, I implement the one picture policy (which hopefully I'll actually be able to stick to, but we'll see ^^;) Today's picture: Boarding the UM bus after arriving at Dulles! UM bus = ultra massively cool! Today was the first, and perhaps last time I'll ever be able to ride it (unless we take it back to the airport at the end of the program) because normally it's mainly...

My last night in Japan + not so eventful flight home. I made a post on my last day in Japan, and like I said I spent almost the entire day cleaning out my dorm, last minute packing, throwing out tons of...weather. There. I've finally caught up! Since I've got home I've pretty much just been rotting indoors, but I shall rant about my reverse culture shock tomorrow perhaps. Hope everyone is well!

... but it lacks the first book's sharp eye (with the exception of its inclusion of the Right Honorable Wicked Stepmothers' Traveling, Drinking, and Debating Society, Men's Auxiliary). John W. F. Dulles, Vargas of Brazil: A Political Biography (1967) -- As the leader of Brazil's government from 1930 to 1945 and again from 1951 to 1954, Getúlio Vargas is possibly the single most influential figure...

Of the same title of a post I just made on mixi~!! Seriously, it feels so weird to have left Narita at 11:10am on Feb. 6th and to arrive in Washington Dulles on Feb. 6th at 9:30am. マジでこれってタイムスリップ?! XDD Ummm yeah...not much to say (I started writing this post WAAAAY earlier, but then got stuck talking to my parents...then my brother came home and played the Wii with me!!!!) My flight went super well...
