Ok, so lets begin on Tuesday night when Pops dropped me off at Fell's (aka Kirstin's) house. As he left he gave me some last advice: "Be safe, and watch your drink". Lol thanks Pop, I will.
Fastforward to Wednesday...we were dropped off at the San Fransisco airport with all 100 of our bags in tote. when we got up to the counter i wastold that my backpack was too heavy to be a carryon so i had to pay an extra $150 to check it...ouch! Security actually wasn't that bad :). I didnt get internet in the airport and my phone shut off earlier in the morning so I lost contact with everyone until I got to Belguim. Sorry if I worried any of you guys!.
When we got on the plane, I took a few nighttime cold pills with the hopes that I would sleep all 11 hours and shake the rest of the cold I had the past few days. Wrong answer! Instead, I slept a few hours and then after I ate dinner, I felt sick the rest of the way. Let's just say I made several trips to the restroom and used a few of those nifty bags they have in the front of the seats. By the time we got to Germany, I had a fever, I was congested and nauseous AND I had about 150lbs of luggage to haul in 80 deg weather. And to make it worse, I saw some of the cutest shoes in the station but couldnt go into the store to buy them because I had all of my stuff.
I wish I could have seen more of Germany but by the time I got on the train I was sick, sweaty and tired so the view from the window was enough for me lol. After 2 connecting trains and about 2 hour delay, I finally got to Mons (my sister's town) where Carlos met me. I hadnt spoken to anyone since leaving the US so I was surprised that he was there inside of the station waiting. I have never been so happy to see Carlos in my life!
After dropping off my bags, and picking up Antonio and Isaiah, I went to the hospital to see my sister and baby Josias! He was so cute but Auntie wasnt feeling well so I didnt hold him. When we got back to my sister's house I had a bite to eat, some Theraflu to drink and was off to bed for the first time in about 26 hours I think.
This was the longest, most miserable day but the good thing is I made it here safe and sound and now it can only get better!
