Smoking on Airplanes

Remember how you aren't supposed to smoke on airplanes? Yep, I do too! But apparently one of the guys on the flight from Amsterdam to Tbilisi didn't. We were delayed for about an hour from low fog. As we were sitting on the plane at the gate, I looked up and noticed smoke rising in one of the front row seats. None of the flight attendants cared, which made me laugh. Oh Georgian Airlines, you've done it again...

Overall, it was a long but painless day of traveling. I started at 8 from Seattle, and after the small glitch of my name being spelled Clonunger instead of Cloninger, I was through security. I met up with Kristan, who was also headed to Georgia to teach as well. We talked for a while, and I was able to assure her that I don't normally dress the way I did in my facebook profile picture.

In DC, we met up with two other people in the program. From there we were on to Amsterdam, where we met more people, and finally we made it to Tbilisi.

Customs was quick...I didn't even have to say a word. We all got our bags and jumped on a bus to the Sheraton Hotel. I'm not sure I've ever been in this nice of a hotel...but I'm not complaining. Today we have had language and cultural training all day. It's all been good fun.

There you have it. I'm off to dinner.
