First edition

August 20th, 2013. My journey started. It was a long journey from Jakarta to Washington D.C. From Soekarno-Hatta International Airport, me and 8 other friends which in the second batch of departure to U.S.A flew to Hong Kong International Airport with Cathay Pacific (CX 776). It took 7 hours fly to get o Hong Kong. We arrived in Hong Kong at 20.30 (Hong Kong's time). We had only short time to enjoy the airport. Fortunately, I could see some good architecture's view of the airport.

At 23.00, our plane took off from Hong Kong to London Heathrow International Airport. We flew with British Airways (BA 028). 12 hours fly was so long fly. That was the time that we took to get to London. I spent my time during my flight to sleep. Hahaha. I did't want to feel the long journey. It was so tired. 5 o'clock in the morning (London's time) finally we arrived at London Heathrow Airport. That was a huge airport and there were a lot of good architecture's view there. In the London, I should pass the U.K. border because I had a problem with my baggage. So, I had 24 hours visa in the U.K. Hahahaha. But, I didn't use it because I should go to the Terminal 1 which was far away from my place. Actually, It had just take 1-2 minutes to get terminal 1 because there was a subway to go there. Hahaha. So sad, I couldn't use my opportunity to visit London.

At 12, we took off to Washington D.C. We flew with United Airlines (UA 919). It took 4 hours fly to get to our destination. After spent time to watch TV on the plane, finally we arrived at Washington D.C. It was at 3 P.M. (Washington's time). Then we stayed at Washington Dulles Hilton Hotel for 2 nights. We had an arrival orientation there. There was something special during the orientation. We went to Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum. That was cool. There were a lot of different kind of planes. From the old one until the new one. I was so excited there.

And here some photos in the orientation.

August 23rd, 2013. It was my last flight to get to Topeka, Kansas which was the city where I would stay for this year. My flight was UA 3730 with the final destination Kansas City International Airport. It was only took 2 hours fly. I was enjoy my last flight because I flew with a small plane. It was like a private plane. It was my first experience to fly with small plane. Hehehehe. I arrived around 9 A.M. (Kansas City's time). My host father, Keith, picked me up. And the story wasn't end. It was because I should take 1 hour drive from Kansas City to Topeka. Finally, my dream came true. I arrived at my host house. It was a beautiful moment for me. I could not forget it.
