No matter what anyone may tell you, overseas traveling is exhausting.
Don´t get me wrong, I love to travel. Seeing new places and experiencing new cultures is a thrill. But let me tell you, sitting on a semi-hard airplane seat for 8 nonstop hours is not an enjoyable experience.
I´m making my travel here sound worse than it actually was. I managed to get through all three airports just fine, and only had to stop for directions once. I sat next to perfectly normal French people and took a perfectly normal five hour nap.
I only had a brief moment of panic when I landed in Brussles, went to the luggage pickup, and didn´t see ,y bag straightaway. Luckily, I realized that the folks waiting beside me were not the same ones on my flight, so as nonchalantly as I could, I strolled until I found the correct pickup area.
My family was waiting right outside the area, holding sings that read my name and welcome. We then proceeded to drive to their home where I promptly took a nap.
If you really want to know the truth; the most difficult adustjment is getting used to this new keyboard. The a and the q are switched, as well as the w and the z.
Nothing was on the agenda for today except to relax, so I did. But starting tomorrow and ending on July 25, we will be constantly busy, going to cities, visiting family, etc.
This is a trip of a lifetime, and I will not be complaining.
See you soon,
Emily
