And we’re off!

My alarm was set for 5am, but I was up before it. As tired as I was from driving through the night the day before, my stoke for the trip was uncontrollable. Noah and I had spent the night at his family’s home in Bellingham, Washington and his parents had generously offered to drive us the hour and a half to the airport for our flight from Seattle. After hugs and snack bags were delivered, we entered the airport. Not too long into our wait at the gate, we met up with a few other j-schoolers, who we attempted to lure into some hacky sack rounds. Before we knew it, we were strapped into our home for the next 16 hours. Nepal, here we come!
