"To move, to breathe, to fly, to float,
To gain all while you give,
To roam the roads of lands remote,
To travel is to live."
Hans Christian Andersen
Yesterday was the first travel day. I flew to Boston to meet with the other 15 K-8 educators selected. This morning we listened to presentations by a former Ambassador and 2 Fulbright Scholars who discussed their experiences and work. The Ambassador brought these interesting fish skins. The excitement is building. We fly out to Iceland tonight.

Tomorrow the journey officially begins. Today is filled with preparations. Trying to condense my belongings into a small suitcase and backpack. Trying to gather all the necessary documents. Trying to finish the cover of my journal. Trying to remember that with any journey comes nervous energy and discomfort which is a good thing.
