Day 311

Day three hundred and eleven. So many movies I can't even count, 7 trips, a best friend, a crush, some bad days - now that I look back, outweighed by the good moments, and a ton of memories. I can't believe it's done.

My Mom and I were picked up by the taxi driver at 4am, and were taken to the airport. I fell asleep on the way. When we arrived, we were SO early. We dragged ourselves sleepily around the airport, and after a coffee, fell asleep waiting for our gate to show up on the screen. When it finally did, a milkshake and chocolate later, we went on our 15 minute hike to the proper gate, and waited to board the plane.

Once we were on, I fell asleep pretty quickly. I woke up in time to watch half of "Blind Side" and watched a little of "Princess and the Frog" before falling asleep again. This continued for much of the flight, with a little bit of Sudoku just before landing. Coming through customs was easy, our luggage was first off, and we were through the doors and in my Dad's arms in no time.

We went upstairs to order a Starbucks Frappuccino - which was good - but the service just wasn't the same. From there, we drove to the house. I gave my brother a huge hug, met his friend Carly - who's awesome - and then, after slumping around for a bit...got changed and went down to the pub Stephen works at, for dinner. I didn't last too long, but longer than expected. It was around 10 o'clock when my Mom and I walked back up the hill. I went straight to sleep, and my Mom drove back down to the pub to pick my Dad up. It was a good night back, and reminded me why I had missed home so much...but there are still parts of England that I will definitely miss. xx
