I’m writing from the Miami International Airport right now, waiting for my flight. The bad news is I had a six-hour layover in between flights. The good news is I could now give you a guided tour of the Miami International Airport. I have walked almost every inch of this place, and have been in all the Pizza Huts, Nathan’s Hot Dogs, and Duty Free shops. I did also manage to find one cafe that sold a tiny salad amidst all the pizza and wings, so that was a small triumph.
I’m sitting at the gate for my flight to Nicaragua, so of course, everyone around me in speaking in very fast Spanish and it’s making me nervous. I’m sure I’ll be fine, but I’m just thinking, “can I really do this?” I think the first week or two is going to be a test of how well I can catch on. Hopefully my high school Spanish classes and the books/CDs I have will be enough to help me survive. My dad got a program for my computer that I was able to put on my ipod, which is really helpful to have on the go. A lot of it is a refresher course, and I’m counting on my good memory to pull me through.
Well, here goes nothing!
Happy trails Senorita!
