Joanie was able to take a bit of time off from work and school and travel with me for the first week or so. What a blast we had! From the adventure of getting to the airport to the moment I had to put Joanie back on a plane by herself, we had a great time. I was lucky that she was able to take the time off and join me, both for my sake and for hers. She clearly had the harder job of having to go back to the States with the mentality and atmosphere here that she so perfectly fits into. Either way... here is a quick taste of what Joanie and I were able to do....
The first adventure was getting to the airport since we were flying out early in the morning of Inauguration Day. Great timing to fly out of DC on the same day the first black president is inaugurated in the United States. The streets were shut down in the middle of the night for the entire day... thus forcing Joanie and I to sleep in the airport the night before. Kaitlin and Brandon were so generous to drive us to the airport that Monday night on the 19th. It seemed stressful but so much nicer in hindsight by alleviating the stress of trying to get there and worrying about flight times. Also allowed me to get a few things taken care of during the down time before leaving the country. Always something you forget...
