Bye Bye USA

I have successfully made it to the Charlotte airport and am eagerly awaiting the airline to begin boarding the plane. At first I was not going to blog the beginning of this trip, since in fact I am visiting the location of the Hammond School Select Ensemble 2010-2011 International Concert Tour. Although I will attempt to be sneaky and be cryptic in the post... I think it could be kind of fun to try and guess "Where in the world is... Hillard"

It is very different traveling alone. I mean, I was crazy running around trying to get myself together this morning!! What in the world... I can shepherd 48 teenagers all around Europe... but not myself!!!!???!!!! WOW... its true!! I finally got it together... just in time to catch my ride to the airport!!

So now it is Saturday early evening and I am about to fly many thousands of miles away to check out an incredible country... BEFORE I jump over to the the country of study.. NORWAY on July 23rd!!! WOW... I hope I can sleep on the plane... I am going to need it!
