Hi guys,
Just wanted to stick my head back in and say "HI!!" from Canada! I made it! Let me tell you, it wasn't easy! The car ride out to the airport wasn't actually THAT bad, we made it in just over an hour. The only bad bit was that towards the end, I _really_ had to pee, which made me think about going to the bathroom.. but I managed to calm myself down, but boy did I run to that bathroom once we were out of the taxi!!
The plane ride wasn't as good - I was in the middle seat between Adrian and an older woman. She was very... helpful (kept commenting on everything I did, asking if my bag would fit properly, etc, etc).

I couldn't eat anything they fed us... Actually, i couldn't identify what they fed us... It was some sort of chicken in sauce with all this lumpy stuff on top that I think might have been potatoes and bread or something but I'm not sure. had milk in it, anyway.. and the other option was sausages and mash! Blech!
Anyway, I started to get nauseous before we left the house and it just got worse and worse and worse the longer we were travelling - I took 2 tavel sick pills, AND drank about half a mini bottle of pepto bismol but in the end, nothing was helping. I had to practically run off the plane once we were let off so I could find a bathroom and throw up. Yuck.

After we went through customs, Adrian had to go and do the immigration thing and I had to wait in the baggage part for him - we had been an hour delayed taking off, were at the end of the line for customs due to my repeated throw up bathoom trips, and then it took Adrian about 40 mins (not bad actually) in immigration so I kept thinking my parents would be freaking out!
When I got to see my family, though, it was AWESOME! My best friend came as well, and that was really cool. I was worried about getting back in the car after feeling so sick, but it was actually okay. Everyone came back to my house and ate pizza (well, everyone except me!) and I called my grandparents and my aunt and stuff to say Hello.
We were pretty tired, but managed to stay up 'til 11 pm (7 AM UK TIME!). I think I slept about 2 hours in total on the plane. We woke up at 4 this morning and figured we might as well get up - there is so much to do today!! I MUST MUST MUST go grocery shopping as there is NO fod in the house that I can eat right now.
I am so glad to be home! We re going to have a pretty busy couple days - probably the next week will be crazy but I will check in and update on how things are going when I can!
Thanks guys!!
