Trip Home. In Short

Hey Kids,

I'm currently home on summer break, and as I was making the day-long journey I thought about how many of you don't travel internationally, and how much you're missing! Or not. I decided to take notes this time, to help you get a taste for the whole fiasco that is international travel.
