Home Sweet Home

The past 3 weeks have been great, but I am really happy to be home =) There's nothing like sleeping in your own bed. Of course, it was great to see Gerald also. This has been the longest we've been away from each other since his rotation days in Nigeria. I was able to email him throughout the trip and text on Whatsapp, but really didn't get to talk to him on the phone until about 2 weeks into the trip, since he was offshore. Anyhow, I think since we're so use to doing long distance, since the beginning of our 10 year relationship together,  it wasn't a big deal at all.  I'm just a lucky girl to have such a supportive husband =)

The journey home was way too long! The weather was bad in Aberdeen so my flight was cancelled and I had to stay the night in Paris. It wouldn't have been so bad, except for the fact that Air France did not communicate very well with us regarding the delays. There was no announcement regarding the delays or the cancellation, I just found out by other passengers who were waiting around like I was. After we finally got rebooked and issued a hotel, there was an unattended baggage in the baggage claim area so we weren't allowed to leave the airport until an hour later. After a full 24 hours of traveling, I was ready for some food and a bed. By the time I got to the hotel, it was 12:00 am and the restaurant was closed so no food available. Luckily I had a few bites in the lounge prior to my original flight or else I would have been SOL. I was one of the lucky ones to get rebooked on the 10:00 am flight out the next day so that wasn't too bad. Overall, I don't mind delays or what not, but just wish the airline would do a better job communicating what is happening and going on so we're not left wondering and scrambling around. I'm just happy I got home safe and sound.

First thing I did when I got home was ordered Papa Johns! It was so yummy!

Anyhow, thanks again Cambodia for a wonderful journey and for all those who have followed in my story. I'm so thankful to be able to share this experience with the strongest woman I know, my Mom!
