I'm leaving on a jet plane...

My bags are packed. I’m ready to go. It’s 5:36 PM. I’m sitting at gate E1B and the butterflies in my stomach are bouncing around like Dizzy Gillespie’s fingers on one of his frenzied jazz trumpet solos. I have embarked upon a journey with an unknown destination. Sure, I know many of the physical destinations I’m flying /driving/walking toward. I know I’ll be singing and living with host families. I know my flight is landing at approximately 9:30 pm in Denver. Yet as in life, these adventures are not about the destination. It’s about the journey, the process and that is where the mystery lies. So-- as I race to finish this post before boarding-- I’ll leave you with my tentative itinerary and thoughts of love for you all.
