Why hello there Staging e-mail!

As I was driving to work this morning, my phone brought to my attention that I had an e-mail.  When I checked the information bar and saw that it was from "Staging" I got pretty excited, to say the least.  Since I have a 45 minute drive to work, I took advantage my quiet car time and called to schedule my flight :)  Here are the some of the details of my last two days in the US:

-Wake up early and be a tourist with fellow UKR 41ers!

-Check out of hotel @ 1PM :)

-Bus to airport @ 1:30PM

-MORE PLANES!

• Flight to Frankfurt: Leaves @ 6:50PM, Arrives 7:40A (7 hr 50min flight)
• Flight to Kyiv Leaves @ 9:45A, Arrives 1:10P

I must say, I think my group lucked out in the travel arrangement department.  We don't have to leave in the wee hours of the morning to wait hours and hours for the plane; we get to do it in the afternoon!  Plus, there are no ridiculously long layovers between flights.

I feel like I have gotten a ton of e-mail of the PC persuasion lately.  I need to e-mail my peer support person back and go through the numerous attachments in my e-mails.  Good thing I have a ton of time now that I am no longer working!

Today was my last day.  Almost 7 years in the same company!  Talking about it with an old co-worker on my way home made me teary-eyed.  I learned a lot in my job it really helped me to grow and become more open, so saying goodbye to that chapter is a bit weird.  But alas, ON TO BETTER THINGS!

This post is all over the place, so let's send it one more place:  Snapshots of Service!
We only need 7 more countries to have a complete roster.

Oh yeah, and I didn't proofread this, so don't judge any potential mistakes.  If you do decide to judge, then do so lightly :)
