TODAY!
"My country 'tis of thee, TODAY, sweet land of liberty, TODAY, of thee I sing, TODAY, OF THEE I SING! TODAY!!"
- Neil Diamond
We've been singing this all day (Erik started it, of course). We've just landed at Logan Airport in Boston. I'm anticipating the relaxing confidence of knowing the language and systems and the nuances of the culture. Approaching an information counter, knowing I'll be able to phrase my query exactly, and understand the response fully. Relaxed knowing my parents will pick us up at the end of this last bus ride -- the end of impersonal hotels and meals in restaurants.
Excited to see the faces of everyone I love, like Dorothy coming home at last and waking up to her old life, infused with the experience of her travels.
