At least most of them have free WiFi, which has made this post possible and helped the time to pass quickly during my 3 hour layover in between flights.
More to come....

Layovers and Languages
Embarking on this 17 hours excursion has given me a new understanding of airports and the way they function. To me they seem to be compartmentalized institutions that hire a wide variety of people with equally diverse capabilities that can only offer information that is applicable to their specific responsibility. In other words, you're basically on your own unless you can find someone among the masses who knows how to think outside of the box.

And so international travel, on crowded planes or trains, routed through large, impersonal transit devices like airports or stations, becomes a metaphor for life in general - searching for the answers we need from multiple sources, many of which, though readily available, are neither useful or helpful. But the passage continues, if one perseveres, and I know you will.
mr cordell, you are one eloquent man. i see where elise gets it from.
elise, im beyond excited to keep up with your blog. one word of advice...keep a personal journal too :) its what helped me make it through the really tough times.
Thank you for your phone call Elise. It is good to know you are in Slovakia safely and already making friends. I hope you have time everyday to write something so I can hold you virtually. I will share things with my students so your experience will enrich many lives as I know it will yours.
Love Always,
Mommy
