"go west, young man"-horace greeley said it and then they named a town in colorado after him. it seems like simple yet sage advice: go west. well sir that is what i intend to do, but i guess i'm going in the round about way.
i got my itinerary from staging head quarters and was shocked to see that i am going to philadelphia for orientation rather than california. i have to go clear to pennsylvania (which also has a greeley named after our friend horace) on the east coast.
i've made my travel plans and actually hop on over to pa the night before because in order to get from the west side of the nation to the east side of the nation by 11:00 am you need to leave the day before. which may or may not give me some time in the morning to see some city, but maybe not.
then i have to do all of my orientation things and then wake up at 5:00 am (which is 3 here) and skip on up to new york. we are taking a bus up there and flying out of jfk in the afternoon.
now here for the jump. from jfk i fly to tokyo (i assume we go up and over) then from tokyo to manila. a twenty hour twenty minute flight. that is almost a whole day off of the ground. that is just crazy to me.
however this gives me some more sense of direction. i got my h1n1 shot, and registered to vote, and any day in the mail some goods for the journey are coming. i'm glad i get to get out of here one day earlier just because that is one less day to wait.
