I woke up this morning ready for Rome! Giving my sweet Tibbie and Belle a hug before I left. I went to eat breakfast at the great American Krispy Kreme. I told my Mom bye from there, and then I went back home with my Dad. He is who took me to the airport! Saying “see you soon” because I do not say “goodbye” was much easier than predicted. There were very few tears! I was very proud of myself lol. So off I went on my flight to Atlanta.

I have arrived in the Atlanta airport waiting for my next flight to leave for Rome as I type this! My flight from Mobile was such a breeze. The man that sat next to me studied abroad when he was younger also. I got to learn all about his travels and the great memories he made. This got me more excited about my own trip.

The first thing I saw after getting off my flight from Mobile was a Popeyes Chicken. So of course I took advantage of that. After getting my food and stuffing it in my purse to eat later, I began my journey to the international terminal. I got a little turned around and ended up riding the tram twice, but that’s no big deal I just got to meet a couple more people!

My flight leaves in about two and a half hours, and I could not be more excited!
