Cold feet..?

14.09.2013 - Seattle, Washington, USA to Reykjavik, Iceland

I'm flying out of Seattle because I saved ~$100 by flying out of SEA-TAC rather than PDX. Keith dropped me off this morning at the Bolt Bus station (which is ran by greyhound, I didn't know that) on SW 5th and Salmon. I arrived at union station in Seattle at around 11:45am. Took the LINK to Seattle's airport and arrived a few hours early. 

As I was checking in, the lady at the ticket booth counter mentioned that I might run into problems in the UK since I do not have a return ticket back to the U.S. (In my head, I was like whatever, I'm sure I can BS my way through it.) 

So now...I'm sitting here..2 hours before I board a flight to Reykjavik, Iceland. Tons of emotions are rushing through my head. My mind is racing a million miles per hour and I'm not sure what is going to happen. 

Bad thoughts and good thoughts (A bit bi-polar-ADD, if you ask me)
  • Do I have enough money? 
  • Holy crap...am I really doing this? 
  • What happens if I don't like this?
  • Do I have enough money? 
  • What happens if I don't meet anyone new?
  • Am I REALLY putting my life/career on pause?
  • Do I have enough money? 
  • Is my mom, still pissed that I'm doing this?
  • Is this the right decision?
  • I am so FRICKIN' EXCITED.
  • I can't wait to catch up with all my friends.
  • Do I have enough money? 
  • Did I pack enough clothes?
  • I hope my project at Kaiser is going to be okay without me. 
  • What happens if I get robbed? I don't want to lose my precious Camera and MacBook Air.
  • Do I have enough money? 
  • This is going to be so crazy...
Once I go through that tarmac, there’s no turning back…here we go!

















TL;DR;JLAP
  • Flew out of Seattle because it was cheaper than Portland
  • Ticket lady said I might run into trouble in the UK because I don't have a return ticket
  • Mixed Emotions: Nervous/Excited/Worried
