The last day

I have different emotions revolving around the trip right now and I cannot decide if I’m incredibly sad that I’m leaving a beautiful and interesting place, or I am incredibly sad because I miss my family and the privacy of my own room. I know that I will come back here and that I will [...]

The Dead Sea and more

Time confusion

I have never took a plane for longer then about three hours before. The long plane ride from D.C. to Vienna was extremely hard for me, even though I had a lot of fun. Everyone got to have dinner and breakfast on the plane, and that was probably my highlight; other than sitting next to [...]

three nights!

I am so excited for the trip.  I was wondering though, can I change my picture before we leave possibly? I really don’t like it.
