January 6th 2014,
As we welcome in the New Year, we also welcome a year filled with new adventures. To kick off what looks to be an amazing year, twenty of Bryant's finest have chosen to partake in the Sophomore International Experience: Latin America. Our mission...see all of Panama and Costa Rica. Our challenge...communicating. Our goal...explore/learn the culture of these two countries. As we begin to talk about this amazing trip...I must inform you of our extensive...and I mean...muy muy extensive travels we had to partake in. It all started Monday January 6th at 1:00 a.m. as we got into a large white Bryant University van, we made our way towards Logan International Airport. Oh the view from the car was great...if their was one...
Logan was much easier than we first expected. Once we all figured out that the line that we were patiently waiting in (and I use that term lightly), of around 5,000,000 million people, was not the right American Airlines line we should use to check-in; we quickly went to the right one and got ourselves some boarding passes.
Our trip from Logan to Miami was very nice, at that point the excitement and joy in the air, really turned into to soft whispers and loud snoring. Miami was the fun part I must say. Once arriving in Miami we all proceed to our gate, to find nothing but the strangest individuals. I personal enjoy partaking in a slight form of people watching, and it was interesting to say the least. Miami has it all really or at least its airport does....they have jedi's, scary people with leather straps, and a women that sounds exactly like Paula Deen...minus the racism.
After the people watching came to a boredom, we decided to well do what any normal person would do after they had a red-eye flight...sleep.
The plane ride from Miami to Panama was well...LOUD! I love babies as much as the next person but if there is one thing I cannot stand is a CRYING...YELLING...BABY. It was rough. At the end of the flight it, I was able to sit and take photos in the cockpit of the American Airlines Boeing Airplane we took there.
Our trip from the airport to the hotel was one of a kind to say the least. Long story short...in Panama...there are no rules of the road. But nonetheless we made it after a day of traveling we are here! And more excited than ever to see what awaits us here in Panama.
