It (finally) begins...

Six months ago we pulled the trigger.  Today, we're actually on our way.  Just 2 flights and an expansive layover stand in the way of our dazed arrival in Lisboa.  

In honor of this momentous occasion, we    decided to splurge, and kick it off right... we're flying first class!  We rationalized the (surprisingly reasonable) expense through saved baggage fees, complimentary lounge access for our 8-hour Newark layover, and the fact that it might allow us to actually sleep for what will seemingly be a very long arrival day.  More realistically it just seemed like one of the only times we'd be able to afford it (especially since our base tickets were paid for by the school). Luxury awaits!  So we've got that goin' for us.

Thirty hours from now we will have crossed an ocean, taken a tour of our new school, opened a bank account, and gone to see apartments that could house us for the next 2 years.  It's going to be an epic couple of days...
