Arrived in Orlando

Well, we made it to Orlando last night. We arrived at 11:30 at night. My luggage ended up only being about 40 lbs, 10 lbs under the maximum weight limit for baggage on British Airways. My back-pack must weigh about 30lbs though! haha I've packed my clothes, a small fleece sleeping bag, shoes, several books, my camera, my laptop, all the cords for my electronics, and other odds and ends that I need for the trip. It turns out that my apartment over there will have the bed linens, pillows, and towels that I need, plus all the kitchen utensils. So, I really don't need to bring too much other than my clothing.

As a side note to my journey overseas, we visited my best friend Andrew. He lives about an hour from Clermont (where my grandparents live), so we figured that we would stop in to see him. I also had the pleasure of meeting his girlfriend for the first time.

We also went out to do some last minute packing, like getting a towel, a pillowcase, and a bed sheet for when I have to stay in the youth hostel in Madrid. (If you don't bring your own, you have to rent them at the hostel.) Other than that, the last two days have been pretty uneventful. I write again soon, I hope!
