Day Nineteen: The Perilous Journey

I had a 4 am wake up call.

I showered. Room service arrived. Sweet succulent pineapple breakfast.



We hopped in a private motorboat at 5am to head to the airport. Grandma almost fell into the canal while boarding the taxi.



There was a lot of waiting at the airport. Granny fell asleep.



Their flight left at 7am. Mine at 11:30. 4 1/2 hours of waiting, yay.





During this whole time I started taking random pictures.

I witnessed the biggest size disparity ever...



And also some questionable parenting...



My flight was delayed.

When I got to London, I realized I actually was at London GATWICK and my next flight left from London HEATHROW. Had to hop on an hour-long bus ride to the other airport.

At Heathrow I received some horrendous directions and went from one wrong terminal to the next (had this been the Amazing Race, I would have been eliminated). Also the terminals were spread so far apart that they required a 15 minute subway ride to get to.

When I finally did get to my flight, it was delayed 2 hours.

Finally arrived in Boston after having travelled and waited a total of 22 hours, complete with incredibly uncomfortable airplane-air-induced eye dryness.

Heidi picked me up. We had curry at the Kebab Factory.

It's good to be home.
