Well, today is my last full day in the country for the year, my preparation for leaving has been kind of patchy. I've just gone ahead and booked connecting flights within the United States. It's pretty solid up until I leave Denver. I have about 8 days in Chicago, with no place to stay or idea of what to do. Well other than not sing praises of the Colts Super bowl victory.

After Chicago it is plain sailing, with a flight straight to the university, then orientation. After that I have a rough plan of somehow getting to New Paltz and somehow returning. I'm sure it will pan out.
