Here We Go

So I'm sitting here in the airport waiting to get on my flight and figured this would be as good a time as any to do my first post. Let me start by saying that I've never done a blog before so stick with me as I figure out. Second, I know Jeremys Odyssey sounds pretty cheesy but I am going to Greece so what the hell. And, I honestly donot know where all I might end up before this trip is over so while I know it's corny, I think it's appropriate. Anyways, I'm getting kind of nervous but mostly I'm just very excited. To be honest, this first part of the trip is gonna suck as I have a long flight ahead of me. First, an overnight flight to Frankfurt, nine hours long. Then, a nine-hour layover there which should be enough time to walk around, check out downtown, have a meal and a good German beer (or two) and then back to the airport. I don't get into Athens until 10 pm so I'll spend Thursday night there. Then a day in Athens and an overnight ferry to Crete Friday night. And then a couple days to get acclimated and then classes start on Monday. So I probably won't post again until I get to Crete but we'll see. Basically, this blog is for anyone who wants to know what I'm up to as I travel and teach and whatever else I get into. I think blogs can be a little pretentious sometimes so I'll try not to be preachy but just let you all know what I'm doing and a few thoughts about my experience. Feel free to comment or e-mail anytime, I will definitely miss all my friends and family. Here we go!
