There is absolutely no way I could have been ready to leave the country if it were not for the help of friends. Forrest Layton and Derek Gibson especially deserve honorable mention. They kept working when I had to stop packing and moving stuff to make phone calls and backup plans for backup plans! They got me up early and kept me up late to make sure everything got done. Derek pulled an all-nighter to help me get packed just in time for my flight out of Nashville this morning. Without their energy and motivation I would have been at great loss. All the extra time going into passport issues and replanning every day would have kept me from making it out of the country when the opportunity actually arose. Thank you guys.
The last few days in Nashville proved the kind of friendships I have there. Even if that was all I learned out of the passport hassles and flight changes, I suppose it is good enough reason for it all. That's important to know going into a year where I need the support of friends who are far way.
