Traveling. . .

I am currently at the Philadelphia Airport and luckily they have free wi-fi and I have a 4 hour layover.  My flight from Minneapolis wasn't too bad except for the fact that the air conditioning wasn't working in the back of the plane, but I was closer to the front so it wasn't a problem.  I still am feeling like I'm in a dream state and that I'm just waiting to be woken up.  I'm not exactly sure when reality will set in, but I know that it will hit me like a ton of bricks.  My plane to Oslo will take off in another couple of hours and I finally found an outlet to plug in my MacBook.  I am so excited to meet my host family. On Monday we will go off on the boat for a week on the lake by their house.  I haven't spoke Swedish in a couple months, but though the excitement of everything I'm thinking in Swedish and catch myself already forgetting English words.


4 Days before I left I had a goodbye party at Dan's house. So many people came to wish me goodbye and give me hugs and kisses.  I did a head count and over 50 people came to wish me goodbye.  I am going to miss my friends and family terribly, but right now I'm just too excited to be sad. 


I don't know if I mentioned this in my blog already, but I really hope to be able to babysit while I'm in Sweden or at least volunteer at a daycare.  I miss working with kids already and it's been a week and a half since my last day at St. Andrew.  However, I already know of one little girl that I can babysit!


Well next time you hear from me I will be in Sweden!
Puss och Kram (hugs and kisses)
