Cool.

I have arrived safe and sound in lovely little Amherst, Massachusetts. As near as I can tell, all of my stuff got here in one piece with the exception of my bottle of Jean Patou perfume (En Joy). :( :( That perfume was pretty expensive and I love it sooo much. I mean, all of the liquid is still contained, but the sprayer is broken and the bottle is sealed. So now it's a matter of finding a way to get the liquid out of the bottle without breaking it; Stand by for hilarity.

BUT, my keylime pie candle arrived safely, which is great because it was expensive and is ridiculously cute.

We experienced some really bad turbulence on the flight into Chicago. Now, keep in mind that I'm good about air travel; turbulence doesn't bother me usually, but this did. It was tossing the plane around so violently that I was holding onto papa's hand with my left hand and, in my right, I was clutching my khamsa pendant so tightly that, when I finally released it, it had left an imprint on my palm. It was pretty scary. According to the pilot on our connecting flight into Hartford, this was due to the fact that there were some storm systems moving in from the West--we had gone through the thick of it.

Once I set up my room and get settled in and stuff, I'll take some pictures and post them. Right now, I think I'll sleep.
