Leaving the U.S. and Heading to Deutschland

Well, it's 1:30 AM on Friday, June 8th, and my flight's at 18:25 (6:25 PM) out of Boston. I should probably pack before I go. Soon I'll sleep in my bed one more time, and then I'll pack in the morning before heading to Logan Airport to say goodbye to the U.S. and catch my flight to Germany. I'll be flying Aer Lingus, and I'll have an hour-and-a-half layover in Dublin, before eventually arriving in Hamburg on Saturday at 9:50 AM . In Hamburg I'll meet up with my friends Drew and Gabby, and I'll spend the weekend with them in Bremen. Finally, on Tuesday morning I'll take a train to Lübeck, and then a bus to the University of Lübeck where I'll move into my on-campus housing, and then visit the Institute for Signal Processing, where I'll meet Mehrnaz and my other colleagues. I'm definitely a bit nervous about the fact that I don't speak German and will have to navigate a foreign public transportation system by myself, but I'm also very excited to travel and cannot wait to arrive! I intend to continuously update this blog with details and photos of my travels, so check back soon!
