I know the question is burning in your mind, so let me just assure you that yes, I did manage to pack. Two suitcases, both well under the 50 pound limit, which means plenty of room for souvenirs - as long as I don't go crazy and buy all of London (which is actually a strong possibility). Hooray!
We lucked out and didn't run into any rush hour traffic on the way to Newark Airport - my parents and my sister Maggie went with me to see me off. Luggage is checked, boarding pass is acquired, the take-off-your-shoes-and-everything-else-and-walk-through-this-little-room-thing security checkpoint has been passed, and, most importantly, the good-byes were said. From here on out, I'm on my own, which is kind of daunting, but also kind of exciting.
So now, after fighting a battle with the airport to find free wi-fi (thank you, Dunkin Donuts), I am now in the waiting area waiting (as one usually does in waiting areas). I figured a quick blog post would pass the time before I have to board, which is still at least a half hour away. Maybe the next time I update this, I'll actually be a Fynan in London. Wouldn't that be nice?
