Hey everybody :)
So here I am at the Philadelphia International Airport. Back in the USA. I've got a few hours before my next flight so I figured I'd put up a little "goodbye" post.
These last few weeks have been pretty emotional, you could say I was bouncing back and forth between wanting to be home NOW and not wanting to leave at all. I didn't pack my bags until last night....the complete opposite of when I left home-I had them packed at least a week in advance!
So this morning I got up at 5:30, had breakfast with my host mom, said goodbye to my host dad and brother, took one last look around my "room" then took my bags downstairs and headed out. We got to the airport with plenty of time so my host mom and I grabbed a cup of coffee before I went through the passport control. Then it was time for a tearful goodbye and I was on my way.
Standing in the security line I heard Americans talking and my stomach dropped, I wasn't even our of the country and I was already missing French! But I got over it and got on the plane. I always imagined the flight would be horribly long and full of anxiety to be coming home and leaving Belgium, but surprisingly I was completely calm and though I hardly slept the flight passed quickly.
Coming out of the clouds to land here I saw a football field :) then when I was buying my first Fuze drink in almost 11 months I heard a Progressive commercial "now that's Progressive!" Yep, I'm almost home.
So far this trip has been smooth, we'll see how it goes when I'm on my last flight from Phoenix to Reno... :)
Alright, just one last thing... J'ADORE BELGIQUE!
