In exactly 24 hours my long journey to Indonesia begins! To clarify, I will be spending a whopping 23 hours aboard an aircraft carrier with an additional 20 hours in layovers***. My dad said that Singapore Airport has free WiFi (actually he pronounced it WeeFee) so I will probably be blogging from there during my long layovers. AMINEF arranged our flights in such a way that most of the ETAs meet up in Chicago or LA before boarding our 15 hour flight to Hong Kong (hopefully we all get along because that is a really long time!).
I finally finished packing my suitcases yesterday. Took a lot of rearranging to get them each under 50 pounds, but after a lot of repacking I was able to do it.
The rest of today will probably be spent eating a lot of my mom's food and watching a lot of trashy American television that I won't have abroad :(
T minus 24 hours!!!
***Update: My father promptly told me that an "Aircraft carrier is a HUGE SHIP that carries aircrafts." Furthermore, he warned me that if I don't fix the error soon my, "friends will laught at [me] if [I] write that [I'll] reach singapore in an aircraft carrier in 24 hours. It would take at least 24 days!!"
thanks dad.

Okay, I have to tell you, when I read the thing about the aircraft carrier, I thought, "Wow, Rashi's going to be on an aircraft carrier? That's crazy. I wonder why." I didn't laugh about it though until I read what your dad said about it.
Have a safe flight. I hope it feels shorter than it is and that you immediately become great, lifelong friends with all the other ETAs.
my mom just said, "Christina will always be the snarky voice in our family."
Good luck kid!!! Its gonna be great..looking forward to getting updates via blog
