Today's the day! Waiting for my ride and then I'm off! Very nervous, but incredibly excited. First stop - Canada.

Windsor, Canada

On a propeller plane. Guess there's a first time for everything. Found a note from Michael in my bag - I'll give you the gist: be safe, be smart, he'll miss me, and he started a count down.

Toronto, Canada

Biggest plane I've ever been on... until Montreal of course.

Montreal, Canada

Finally off and on our way to Barcelona! After 2 flights they finally made me check my bag because "the flight is full and there's not enough room". I was pretty mad about it. It's no more full then the other 2 flights I've been on today.

Anyways, I'm on the plane right now. Feel very light and already losing circulation in my legs. Cried immediately when I got on the plane. I miss Michael. Looking forward to summer to spend lots of time with him. Just hope I remember this feeling for all of my trip and all summer. He truly is the love of my life.

Honestly not sure why these feelings are hitting me now though. Maybe because phone communication is all we have and not that I'm abroad, we really don't even have that all the time.
7 more hours on this flight.
20 more days in Europe.
