Fight or Flight (August 22-28, 2007)

In efforts to learn from my last travel mistakes, I decided to start packing my suitcase approximately a week in advance. This is what Prashant did and he reported having time to kill before leaving. This sounded nice to me as I figured I could be calm and collected just before leaving.
Unfortunately, this did not come to pass as I ended up throwing last minute additions into my bookbag as late as two hours before my plane left. I even resorted to asking my mom to help me organize everything.
By the time I was ready to go, I was so anxious and into flight mode it was hard to be emotional or sentimental. Considering I’d passed the point of no return some time ago, I suppose this was for the best.
