Still in Chicago!

"So, one of the most fun things ever in the airport is when your flight is delayed!" said no one. Ever.

Right now, my 6:10pm flight is looking to be 7:56pm according to the updates. It's all good, though.

I recognize this is post #2 today. I expect to not be posting this frequently during the trip. (In all honesty, I am killing some time at the airport!)

Last time I flew to England I was a lot less tethered down by electronics. Now I'm trying to make sure I don't accidently incur international data-roaming charges but still be able to use my iPhone wifi exclusively, and hoping that my Nike running app's GPS data actually doesn't use that expensive data like the internet told me.

I'm also realizing that this trip will be much different from my trip in college. Back then, I didn't have a two year old beginning to potty train and taking his first plane flight. I'm missing some firsts. Back in college - I was surrounded by my friends on a trip for class, which was my life back then. Yes, these are the things you think about when you're traveling as an adult...

This is a good example of how there are give and takes in all your decisions. I'm glad I have this opportunity to take this trip and actually doing it! I am also thankful that I have a supportive family and congregation backing me in this endeavour.

With all of that being said, boarding time is quickly coming up! Next time I post, I will be in the UK!
