Departure Day

Hello fellow travelers!

Well, I'm officially 21, and today is the start of my travels. First up: New York City.

I've never been to NYC, but I find it quite unexpected that a dream of mine that I've had since I was a child is coming true today. I've always dreamed about spending my twenty-first birthday in New York City. While it is a little different that I had perhaps dreamed, I am excited nevertheless. I'm armed with a freshly stocked Kindle, a fully charged ipod, and a couple of birthday twenties stuffed in my back pocket. Bags are packed, for the most part, and I'm, unfortunately, wide awake.

One sudden change in my mind is that I am really envisioning a life that combines travel and work. As of right now my work with an international student leadership organization is thrilling. I'm working my way up in the company, and plans are in the works to even travel internationally with the program. I'm going after this life that I've always wanted. I'm looking into the International Tourism Management Institute, a school that I've heard can really help you enter the industry. I could really see myself enjoying the nomadic, educational, and exciting life that many tour directors lead.

Here's a brief itinerary of my travels:
Sunday June 12th- Saturday June 18th: New York City
Sunday June 19th: Philadelphia
Monday June 20th-Thursday June 23rd: Washington D.C
Friday June 24th- Sunday July 17th: Boston (arrive in Denver late)
Tuesday July 19th: Travel to LAX, then overnight in Hawaii
July 20th: Arrive in Majuro, the capital of The Republic of the Marshall Islands.
