And so it begins...

Well, here we go...

My Jonathan Berman and I am 20 years old. I'm from Poughkeepsie, NY and I'm on my way to Santiago, Chile to study abroad. I've never done a blog or anything of that nature but I felt it was important to catalogue and keep track of my trip to the other side of the world. I'll be there until May 20th, 2005.

On January 27th, 2005 I am taking an evening flight from Newark, NJ to Miami, FL in order to transfer to LANChile airlines. From there I will take an 8 hour flight to Santiago, Chile. I should arrive in the airport at Santiago at 6:50AM, which, if the universal time clock website is right, is 16-20 mins before sunrise in Chile. So that should be quite a sight to see, the first sunrise I'll see in South America.

Of course, that depends on whether my flight gets in on time...
