I'm writing this from JFK airport, on the first leg of my journey to England. My plane leaves at 5:30 PM, less than 2 hours from now. I will arrive in Birmingham, England around 7 o'clock tomorrow morning.
I'm flying Aer Lingus, an Irish airline, meaning that I layover in Dublin, get Irish food, and a green plane with a shamrock.
My family saw me through security before they headed home. I'm both excited and nervous, which combines to make me both jumpy and shaky. I'm relieved that air travel has presented no problems for a newbie traveler so far.
Please pray for safety while traveling and ease of passage through the airports.
