Talk about a shop-a-thon. Phew! I don't think I've ever spent so much cash within 3 weeks. Clothes, food, a new laptop, gifts, food, drinks, Sea World, food, a new tattoo, oh and did I mention food? I got a chance to partake of all the things I missed the most since I've been living in the United Kingdom.
So many things were still the same, yet some things were surprisingly different. The climate in SD and Seattle were great. Sun, sun and more sun! Loved it! And seeing all my nephews and the kiddo's who were barely walking and talking when I last saw 'em. Makes me realize how time flies.
Anyhow, I'm jet-lagged. The trip back from the US was crazy. Left Seattle late at night for 5 hours of screaming, crying children and arrived in Pittsburg for a half-day layover. Checked into a motel for some sleep, then flew 7 hours sittin' next to some weird lady, getting hassled about my seatbelt every five minutes while I was trying to sleep entirely covered in my blanket. Then the ride from London to Newquay just stunk... literally. The guy next to me was going for the "au natural smell". One word, four syllables. DEODERANT! Ugh! Why me?
Now, sitting here at home seems a bit weird like I've awakened from a nice, long, sweet dream. It's back to reality from here I guess. More money-saving for my upcoming trips. Italy in October, and hopefully New York some time later this year. More on that later. Time for a nappy nap. Zzzzzzz...
