Nearing the end of my college career, myself and my travel companions are perched on the row of black chairs in the terminal. Four years ago, I would never have imagined myself in this situation. It's similar to every time I travel, the fact that I will be in a new country after the length of a plane flight hasn't hit me yet. There is a hint of anticipation, but reality has not sunk in yet. We will all come in contact with many women leaders over the next week and a half. These women will all have their own stories; we will learn from them, experience a new culture and explore this region together. None of us can predict what our experiences will be like, but I know that I'm open to and up for the impending adventure!

I am still pinching myself; are we really on our way to Dubai, UAE? This day seemed so far away, yet here we are an hour and a half until boarding. This is my first trip to the Middle East and my first international women's conference. I don't know what to expect, but am filled with feelings of excitement laced with a bit of anxiety. It's all good, though.

Ready to blow up my travel pillow and sleep on the flight to Heathrow. Then awake for four hours in London for layover, eat some food, drink some water, pinch myself to stay awake until Dubai, then crash in the hotel. Then the real fun begins!
