I had been planning on writing a new update prior to departing to Poland this morning but alas in the furor of packing, training, and work I didn’t quite find the time.

I’m sitting here now, back at home... almost two hours after my flight was scheduled to depart... due to a rookie mistake on my part. Who knew if you showed up with no baggage to check 44 min before your flight you can’t make it on! Well now, I know at least. I'm frustrated and upset with myself for only allowing so little time to make the flight but I now have a new flight booked later this evening through Frankfurt so in that sense, I am very lucky!

Enjoy the rest of August and relish those last couple weeks of Summer!
