Today was my second conference call with Chef Demian, in Costa Rica. Due to circumstances beyond their control (the partners were unable to get together to talk), we were unable to nail down any details today. We will be speaking again, on Tuesday, February 1 for our third conference call.
Natalie (my Career Services Director) and Chef Eddie (the Chef that has made this wonderful opportunity possible) and I were able to spend a few minutes discussing the details of my externship. Natalie stated that she wanted to be sure that I understood how important and "big" this opportunity is, and she needed to make sure that I was totally on board. I explained the depth of my commitment, and assured her that I was completely on board, adding that I will be selling all of my worldly goods, with the exception of my kitchen stuff. It made me feel so comfortable that both she and Chef Eddie reiterated that if at any time, I begin to feel overwhelmed or have any concern, that I can feel free to let them know. Such a wonderful knowledge to know that they both have my back and they are rooting for me.
I have been checking flights and prices, and it looks to be more economical to ride the Mega Bus from Indianapolis to Chicago, and then fly out from Chicago to Costa Rica. Plane tickets are almost half the cost to fly from Chicago, instead of Indianapolis. Most likely, I will ride the last bus out of Indianapolis and just spend the night in the airport, flying out on the first plane from Chicago. Or better yet, someone might offer to drive me to Chicago, to see me off. I am staying open to all options.
