Day 42 & 43

I made it! After 13 hours of flying and 2 hours of driving, I made it home to my nice warm bed. The flight wasn't too bad. We arrived at the airport a few hours early and got all checked in. We dropped our bags off and went through several security measures (they're very good) and finally had a chance to sit down and have something to eat. Our plane was ready to board at 3:05 and I knew this was going to be the start of a very long journey. The plane ride wasn't too bad actually. There were no crying babies, thankfully, and we actually managed to get a few hours of uncomfortable sleep. The food was pretty good. I had a nice piece of chicken with vegetables and some kind of potatoes, a salad and some bread. For dinner I had beef in coconut and orange sauce with rice and veggies and then some yummy rice pudding. We watched a movie and even managed to play some card games. We finally landed at 7:10pm (which felt like 4:10 am for me) and had to go through more security measures, including customs. Thankfully we didn't smuggle anything illegal in. We said good bye at the airport and then found our respective rides. After 2 hours of driving and a Del Taco burrito to remind me how much I missed Mexican food. I really missed it! I made it home safe and sound, started some laundry and then finally made it to bed at 11. I thought it was going to be a restful night, but after 5 hours of sleep, I was up. And there was no hope of falling back asleep. Hopefully the jet lag wears off soon enough and I can sleep tonight! I had so much fun on this trip and I'm in need of some relaxation time. Thanks for following along and I'll let you know when I decide to go on my next trip!!! Good bye until then :)
