All settled in...and ready to fly

11:23. One York Peppermint patty down, one more bottle of Arrowhead to go. Put my clothes in the dryer and off to bed for me. We had a sleep doc come talk to the team a couple weeks ago. It was interesting, he has a Ph.d from Yale in sleep habits, and works for NASA. World renown, from my understanding....but I wasn't impressed. He pretty much stated the obvious. Take naps, don't sleep in late, yadda yadda yadda he prescribed us all Ambient to sleep on the plane. And no, I didn't yadda yadda over the best part, I mentioned the nap.

I was nervous last night, a little stressed out. And I hardly ever get stressed but theres something about this job that makes me feel like I'm a part of something much bigger than what I even fathom. So with that, I wanted to give myself a day buffer, so I got all packed up with my gear and equipment, and EVERYTHING, so now I can rest easy tonight, stress-free, sort of. This first trip, I probably wont rest easy the entire 11 hour 5 minute flight, thinking...crap, I probably left something in my office. BUT, thats life. OH, and I am in charge of $4,000 dollars cash, which will be on my body at all times...thats not scary at all!...I did buy a book to read, 3 weeks with my brother, by Nicholas Sparks. I will let you all know what I think.

I plan on posting pictures as I get them from places I'm at, things I see. If I were my brother Nick, all the pictures would be cars...(inside joke from his junior high trip to D.C).
