Can you imagine having to check in almost 20 people in at one time while keeping track of one another and making sure everyone gets to the same gate!!
Well… neither could I until today, this was a new experience for me and although it was fun having to run around with 10 bags and shuffle them here and there… I am SUPER exhausted!
We finally boarded the plane and took our seats, settled in and normally I am the one that is scared of flying… I don’t know if any of you remember my other blog when I went to England, but I was terrified. This time around I was cool as a cucumber because poor Gio was super nervous.
When I say nervous, I mean he was almost to the point of hyperventilation and the blood from my hand was almost gone.. lol.. poor guy.. he felt like he was going to throw up but I talked him through the entire thing and not until 5 minutes after we were in the air did he finally take a deep breathe and relax.
As we speak, EVERYONE is passed out while Gio and I play on our laptops.. well obviously I am writing this but I am also listening to music while he plays bejewled on his moms laptop.
Something funny and sad that did happen during all this madness was the fact that my suitcase didn’t make it on the plane.. LOL.. (this is the funny part) BUT… will I will have it tomorrow night. The sad news was that Gio’s cousin Franci had an expired passort and was unable to board the plane in time to make the flight… and when they checked in the bags.. her bags went under my name and since my bags were last… they were put under her name because we were all going in a giant group.. so it didn’t really matter, but because her passport was expired.. and my bag was the last one to be checked and weighed… it was left behind with her (2 bags to check in). So the funny part is me and my missing bag.. and the sad part is that Franci will be taking the next flight out which is tomorrow morning at the same time… 11:30am.
I am excited to be reunited with my luggage.. and thank goodness for my carryon because at least I have some thing.. but no change of undies.. L… LOL!
1:49 pm:
We just finished having “lunch” “dinner”… it was either the choice of pasta or carne “meat”… so naturally I chose the meat and I am so glad that I chose the meat… SOOOO GOOD! It was asada with mashed potatos in spinach with a salad, French roll and a delish desert that was a cross between cheesecake and carmel.. DROOOOOL.
As we speak, they just put on the movie in the plane.. and guess what movie we are watching…. Valentines Day!!!! That was such a funny movie and I am super excited and cant wait to start watching the movie J
So far.. no really bad turbulence but it hasn’t be that long in the flight… Keeping my fingers crossed.
Postya Later !
Im awake… after a cat nap, it is 5:41 your time and im sitting here with cramps in my legs from just sitting so darn much… I have mamanged to lift my legs and walk around a bit but there is only so far you can go in a plane when other people are also trying to walk around.
We are about an hour and a half from landing and have just been given our packets to fill out claiming what we are bringining in or out of the country…. I always get confused with these things but we managed to get it right after the 4th time filling it out… Hahahah!
WE are ALMOST there!! I cant wait to arrive at our destination and start the party… from my understanding the family is waiting for all of us and had made a huge dinner/party to celebrate our arrival.. I am sooo excited and cant wait!
The family picked us up and our luggage was insane! lol
His family even got me flowers!! They are soo sweet!
(BTW- I look exhausted)
This is Gio's uncle that he has been waiting to meet him since he was little :)
Thats it for now guys... its 2:04 am Friday morning so I need to get some sleep :)
