Flew back from Aruba and got back to our house about 6pm from Bristol airport, put my clothes on to wash, charged the camera, downloaded photos, ate and went to bed. The next morning I got up at 6, showered, packed and Dan dropped me at Chippenham station! I have never felt so bad in all my life- met Becky at Bristol station and we got the bus down to the airport. Arrived in plenty of time for the flight so sat around for ages and did Brian hands over breakfast!

The flight was ok ish but the seats had less leg round than KLM and the food was AWFUL! I don’t think you can have scale chicken but that’s what it tasted like! The film was the same one I had already watched on the way to Aruba so I listened to my iPod instead! We finally arrived into Newark airport at about 2 and found our way to the uniform dispatch agents who got us a yellow cab! It is all so American!!!

Had a few problems finding the hotel and the roads were quite busy because of all the flooding but I found the map and directed the taxi driver there! We tried our best to stay awake but as time went on and we were waiting for Jamie, we ended up getting into bed and watching TV and shouting at each other to stay awake. Jamie was taking AGES and her UK didn’t work then we finally got a call from her saying she was on the way but there were huge traffic jams! She finally arrived at 8pm when we were just drifting off to sleep, we ordered the largest pizza I had ever seen then went to sleep about 10pm (which was 3am our time!!). Dan phoned us just before we went to sleep- aww!
