greetings from overseas

Aug 18, 2005 11:50

So here I am in Scotland. I arrived here yesterday, after leaving on Tuesday. The flight was ok I suppose. Besides the girl behind me having a knee in my back and pushing my chair forward for most of the flight, and not being able to sleep or barely move, everything went well. The food was decent, for airline food. Beef Ravioli or chicken. I stuck to the beef ravioli and I was actually impressed. Breakfast was another story. I tried a bite of everything and then gave it back to be discarded. We went up to 40,000 feet altitude and flew at a whopping 600 miles an hour. 4,350 miles to London. Once in London we had a 3 hour layover, which could be nice, if you are in the mood for shopping, but I just wanted to get here and take a nap. My family was getting on my nerves too. Oh and when I got off the plane in London, the stewardess lady hit on me. She was just saying bye to everyone as they walked off the plane, but when I passed by, she looked me straight in the eyes and said "Bye Cutie". Our flight to inverness was only about an hour and a half and then we picked up our luggage and headed to Forres. Freshened up, went and saw Grandma, only to about pass out on her couch. She gave me some pain pills for my back, we went to the supermarket to grab a few things and then I went and took a 4 hour nap. Woke up for a bit to eat some tea (dinner) and then went and took another 4 hour nap. Woke up to my Auntie Liz, Uncle Dougie and cousin Robert downstairs paying a visit. Hung out until they left and headed back to bed. I know it sounds like I slept a lot my first day here, but you have to consider with not sleeping on the flight, and only sleeping 4 hours the night before, that in 52 hours, I had only slept 4. Woke up this morning at 9am (4 am american time). My sleep schedule is going to be so fucked when I get back. Oh well. Oh, and its 50 something degrees here. Jealous??? Hahhaha. Anyways, Im so happy to be here, I feel like I am finally where I belong. The only thing missing is your hand to hold when I walk down the street and your arms to lay in. I miss you Chris and love you so much. Goodenow, Sean, Audra and everyone else, I miss you all as well and will see you in a few short weeks. Hope everything is good with all of you.
