It’s Official!

I will be going to Cornell next year! We got a nice financial aid package (appealing for more due to recent changes in my parents’ employment) but it’s decided! I’m super excited Thanks for all of your well-wishing.

Right now I’m trying to find cost-effective ways to get to Ithaca, New York from Vancouver, Canada. After a lot of searching, the best we came up with was to drive down to Seattle, fly to Philadelphia, fly to Newark, then fly to the Ithaca airport. Oh my goodness! I guess small towns and their tiny airports do have drawbacks. But what the heck, I’ll be able to say I’ve been to half a dozen US cities now.

I will keep you guys updated on this little ol’ journey of mine.

During the entire trip, I kept a play by play journal listing the events of each day. I also… when my cellphone had batteries left… recorded random audio musings. Now I decided to just let the pictures do the narration. Please note that my camera really sucked (wait til next entry, where it turned the gorgeous Chateau Lake Louise into a one-dimensioned murky grey, so apologies for that.)

Random other people leaving at Vancouver International Airport. Wow, look at the red carpet they have for the business class people!

One last look at the gorgeous blue sky baby! (And of course, plane necessity: flip-flops)

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. A journey of THREE thousand miles requires lots of food and entertainment.
