itinerary

my flight itinerary came today from AFS. I am on a family vacation to New Orleans right now, and mama showed the email to me on her iPad in the car when we were on the interstate somewhere near Burmingham, Alabama (though to be honest I can't quite remember... we just arrived in New Orleans at ~10.30pm after leaving at ~4:30pm yesterday and driving nonstop, so everything is a bit of a blur).

I will have a roughly three-hour layover in London (once getting off the plane is accounted for), which is something I wasn't expecting. for some reason I had foreseen a layover in either Iceland or Denmark. but no matter. I only wish it could be longer; I've never been to England before. lying here on my hotel bed in New Orleans, in the artificial cool of an airconditioned Southern summer night, it's tickling how surprised I am to have this trip to Finland finally feeling so real.
