Pre-Departure Considerations

Do I have everything? Academic Programs International, API, suggests that we bring no more than two duffle bags, a handheld and a backpack. I only have one duffle and it's not even full. I don't think I'm forgetting anything...

Current thoughts: My flight lands at 11:30 am in Madrid Barajas Airport and the pick up time with the resident director of the program in my terminal is at 2 pm. In the other terminal, the pickup time is 1. Should I figure out how to get to that terminal? I think it would save me some time from just sitting around in the airport.

They also told me to send them my cell phone number. Er, I don't have a cell phone for Spain yet. Remaining calm. That reminds me: I have to set up my skype account so that I can call U.S. cell phone numbers unlimited from the internet. If you are dying to talk to me, remind me in the comments, e-mail me your phone number (michelleidalo@gmail.com), and I'll give you a jingle as soon as I have wireless internet, either on my iPod Touch or computer.

I hope that I'm fully recovered from this cold by tomorrow afternoon. It would not be fun to fly congested.

Well that's it for right now. I'll update again when I get a chance.

Hasta Madrid!

  1. When you land your gonna have to ask people where the terminal is. I don't know how the Madrid Barajas Airport is, but the one in Barcelona was soo big and confusing! Ask around! Use skype to call your mentor :) Feel better!
