Today is the big travel day! I am heading to England. I am scheduled to arrive in Plymouth at 8pm on Sunday. By the time I arrive, I will have been traveling for 48 hours. I stayed the night in Orlando last night so I could wake up refreshed and ready for my 11AM flight to New York today. I dragged my HUGE suitcase to check in for my flight and nice airline man told me that my bag was 10 pounds overweight. My airline was nice enough to give me a gray trash bag to fill up and take some weight out of my suitcase. I spread my suitcase open in the middle of the airport and started ripping it apart. Once my suitcase was 50.8 pounds, I was able to check in and wait at my terminal. Sitting at the terminal gave my mind time to wander. I started to get really anxious and nervous. I have never traveled alone before. I had two flights, a bus and two different trains to catch to arrive in Plymouth. I'm just nervous that I am going to miss one or go to the complete wrong place. The worst part of traveling alone? I had no one to ask to watch my bags while I went to the restroom. I had to squeeze into a tiny stall with my carry on bag and my trash bag. I would rather wait and go on the plane. That's sad. My flight from Orlando to JFK was smooth sailing. I sat next to a friendly Canadian that had awful body odor. I gave myself a mini bath in the restrooms once I landed because I felt like his smell was all over me. Ahhhh, the joys of travel. I am currently sitting at JFK waiting for my six hour flight to London. I decided to write your letter now because I have a FIVE HOUR LAYOVER. I've just been shopping around and eating. I had Chinese food for lunch (I hope I don't regret that) and I bought a really nice rose hand cream.
Do you think I'm starting a new trend with this bag?Xoxo,
Susannah
