The Journey to Iceland


June 8, 2018

Today is the day the adventure begins!!!! I am waiting for my flight, so I thought I would write a little bit. I have a looooong journey ahead of me, but I am super excited! (and a bit nervous) I have quite a few connecting flights; from Maui to Honolulu, from Honolulu to LAX, from LAX to Seattle, and then from Seattle to Iceland! I will be traveling for about 24 hours in totality. This is going to be the longest and probably most epic adventure of my life to date! I will check in and write a little bit more in a bit.

Two planes down, two more to go! I’ve landed at LAX and have a 3-hour layover until my connecting flight to Seattle. I am pretty tired, but I think my excitement and a bit of anxiety is keeping me pretty alert. Both the flight from Maui to Oahu and from Oahu to LA went well, with nothing exciting to report. Things have gone quite smoothly so far! It still is surreal to me that I am going to ICELAND. I probably won’t fully believe it until I get there! I know I am meant to go on this journey, and I know and feel that my family is with me every step of the way! Knowing that my family is with me in spirit, helps soothe some of the anxiety of traveling to a faraway place for the first time. This truly is a dream coming to fruition, and I couldn’t be more thrilled and grateful for all of those who have helped me make this possible!

Made it to Seattle with no hiccups! I have been anxious about losing my baggage, but everything went smoothly! Now I am just about to start boarding my last direct flight to Reykjavik. I have never traveled this distance before, so I am getting pretty tired and am a bit discombobulated but I’m excited for what lies ahead! I will keep everyone posted when I land- stay tuned!!
