Guten Morgen from Frankfurt, Germany!

Its 7:23 in the morning here and still pitch black outside... makes no sense?  My flight from Chicago was great, who can complain when traveling in business class?   I had my own bed, down blanket, flat screen tv, slippers, unlimited drinks of all kinds, snacks and tons of food.  I have to say that I felt quite ill when I got off the plane because I didn't sleep a wink.

The Frankfurt airport is HUGE although I managed to make it through to the right area and go through security and I am very happy to say that I was not chosen for the strip search, so this mission through Germany has been a success!

Well, as promised from my last entry I am uploading pictures of my packed up (and rather empty) apartment.  The last week was quite sad putting the finishing touches and cleaning everything up.  I will definitely miss my home-- she is a beauty!


This past week has been filled with so many different emotions.  I had the opportunity to connect and reconnect with some important people in my life.  Thanks to my amazing friends, CJ and Joey, I had a memorable going away bash on Saturday night.  I think it was only then that the realization of me leaving finally dawned on me.  And even though I shed some tears (some being an understatement) and had some moments of anxiety and nerves, I know that what I am doing is right because I am CHALLENGING myself beyond my wildest dreams.  I have NO IDEA what tomorrow brings and even though that is extremely scary right now it is also AWESOME (or in the words of Barney Stinson, legen..dary).  I just hope all my loved ones know that I wouldn't have the strength to chase my dreams without them supporting me.

Anyway, I will be departing for Tel Aviv in a few hours and when I arrive it will be interesting to see how I am able to put all of my luggage in Sima's car!  Here is a picture my mom took of me with all my stuff before I left:


Well... I hope to hear from everyone soon and I'll be back in touch as soon as I get a chance!
