sooo, i got home last night around 6, 6:30-ish. but to my body, it felt like 11-ish. i'm still jet lagged. i hate jet lag. grrrrrr.
anyway, my trip back was ummm frightful and delightful. interesting, right? well, first we had EXTREMELY tight connections between flights, so our first flight from inverness to gatwick was ok. then, gatwick to newark was omg omg omg. we had the terminal the FARTHEST away from us, and we thought that we were going to miss the flight. luckily, the boarding line was held up for some odd reason, so we slipped in unnoticed for our inactivity. then, we fly over the big drink of water for 6 hours and 20 minutes and land in newark, new jersey. so, all is well and then we get to customs and security in newark. yikes much. we had to sprint to the gate, and hold the plane for my dad. [my dad has two artifical hips. they were replaced about 6 years ago, because we was born with arthritis on his hips.] well, there was ANOTHER hold-up, but this time is was in the chute that lets you go onto the airplane. so, we slipped in unnoticed again. xD once we board the plane, it's clear that it's hot. it was 97 * F outside, and the piliot told us that the a/c was low. so, there's a stupid screaming baby with a dumb-butt mother in a 97 degree airplane. "luckily", alec [my brother] and i got "lovely" seats in the back of the plane next to a silent and creepy looking guy from japan. then, we wait at the gate because the people had to do "paper work" so that the a/c would work. by now, the flight attendants are serving ice cold water, and these abnoxious kids are running up &. down the aisle. so, then we all get ready to take off, and we push off from the gate in extreme heat and hurting eardrums. once we get on the runway, there's a GIANT line for take-off and landing, so the piliot tells us that we have a long wait. but then, they tell us that newark decided to close up. omg it was horrible. we sat in on the runway for an hour, then newark re-opened and we took off. the 1 hour and 10 minute flight felt longer than the 6 hour flight. the heat was horrible, and this baby was screaming it's head off. there was sooo much air turbulence, and yikes i hated it.
so, then we get to the home airport to discover that my luggage and my dad's luggage didn't make the connection from newark. so, this morning it 'magically' arrived at our doorsteps. xP
well, that's pretty much my trip there. haha, not really. i'll get some pics up and going, and it will be great. =D
