Setting off

The 17th of Aug at 1.45 AM, was the beginning was the beginning of a new stage in my life.I was off on my Fulbright DAT fellowship  at Univ. of Maryland,USA .I was very excited about my trip as well as a little anxious.My business class ticket got upgraded to  first class.I took this as a good omen.The experience in the flight to Frankfurt was out of the world.It was positively decadent.What luxury !,what unnecessary extravagance!it was very disconcerting.Nonetheless I wouldn't have missed it for the world.
