So break down of the last 2 days
Sunday: Got up at 4:30 am to hop in a car for 14 hours to drive from North Carolina to Syracuse. Chill with family :) <3
Monday: Get up at 7:30 am to drive 5 hours to get home. Chill with family until 7 <3. Hop in the car again for an hour to the airport. Lots and lots and lots of tears. Hop on a plane for 7 hours 40 minutes.
I'll put pictures up later but the line to check in was RIDICULOUS! It spanned basically an entire section of the terminal because of some poor planning on Air Transat's part. Three major international flights flying within 15 minutes of each other = chaos. Luckily the staff handled it really well and it only took an hour and a half to check in then 10 minutes through customs. No big deal!
However I've cried so much that my contacts are now sticky and blurry.
Anyway, I'm now sitting at my gate waiting to board, chilling with an Arizona ice tea and a Rolling Stone magazine with True Blood on the cover. Good to go! I'm planning to sleep on the plane so I'm not so zonked when I get to Frankfurt. I'm excited to see Connie and Dan :D They've been so amazing so far, Connie even prepared a room for me at her place!
Well the pilots have just arrived. I'll definitely miss my family and friends but I'm ecstatic to have their love and support behind me as I go off on this adventure. I'll bring back presents :D.
