Day one. First, I left my laptop at home and only made that discovery at the airport. A dear friend John, my early morning ride to the airport, had to make that trip twice and I didn’t even miss my flight.
Well, I didn’t miss that one but, due to a delayed departure from JFK and, consequently, late arrival to Moscow, I did miss the other two – to Warsaw and then to Katowice. It was a long day of hurrying and waiting, cancelling and re-booking, praying and praising the Lord for eventually bringing me to my final destination only two hours later than planned.
I had plenty of airplane food (there was a Great Lenten menu on Aeroflot flights!); airplane rest (stretching across empty seats!); and airplane entertainment (no comment!) with ample time for refreshing my first presentation for the teachers in Katowice Pedagogical Institute.
I am so looking forward to it as well as to my all other events in Poland, Belarus, and Russia!
