« Some Background | Main | And I have arrived! »

January 29, 2005

Welcome

I would like to welcome all of you who received my e-mail this morning and invite you to read the previous posts which will offer some interesting background about my trip. I hope you enjoy it.

Tonight I leave Boston on an 8:10pm flight to Paris where I will meet two other people from my program and hop on a flight to Amman. I will not get into Amman until late Sunday night (Amman time) so it will be a long trip. I have stocked up on good snacks though and hope that I can just relax before my crazy semester begins. Amman is 7 hours ahead of Boston time and 8 hours ahead of Minnesota time so I will hopefully not be fighting jet lag when I get there.

Hope to hear from everyone soon!

We wish you safe passage for your trip. Sounds like it will be a long one. This next semester will undoubtedly be difficult, but adventurous and filled with opportunities to see how the middle east really works. Good Luck!

Posted by: Otto & Leona at January 29, 2005 3:00 PM

You're off, safe and sound... I'm happy to know that I got the chance to see you off, to make sure you were all set with your flight and that everything was taken care of.

Thanks so much for spending a wonderful week with me! Not only do I look forward to your return, but I eagerly anticipate your reports and stories. I have no doubt that this post to your blog is just the beginning of your adventures!

Posted by: Karl at January 29, 2005 10:06 PM

That long a flight is pretty dull, but once you get to Jordan, I would bet jet lag will be the last thing on your mind.

I mentioned your trip to a friend last night - that you were trying to figure out the middle eastern mind. He laughed, and not in a good way.

I really think highly of what you're trying to do. It's very, very hard to connect the dots between east and west, but all of us need to try, and you're clearly not just talking about it.

From the rest of us, thanks.

Hey! I just looked up your hotel, and apparently Expedia.com has photos of the place!

Just imagine groups of awkward American undergrads wandering around... Becca, you can tell us if it actually looks like this or not :)

Posted by: Karl at January 30, 2005 3:39 PM

Bon voyage, Becca! Keep us posted, so to speak. We await your news with bated breath!

Posted by: Beth at January 30, 2005 8:33 PM

She's arrived safe! I got an email from her this morning (must have been afternoon there). No details, just that she's arrived.

Posted by: Karl at January 31, 2005 9:20 AM

whoops, oh man, that link to the hotel pictures was definitely broken... here's the right one :)
