Well, I successfully made it back to America, but not quite back to my house yet. My flight out of Santiago was delayed by two hours, until 11:30pm which was kindof nice- we wanted to stay in Chile as long as possible! In the airport I ran into my friend from my hotel in Cusco, Kirstin from Stanford, and her friend who is running a marathon on every continent! He has a blog about it, which I will link to asap, because it’s sure to be way more interesting than mine. I also ran into my Jonathan’s best friend at ND and we talked about how clarinets are the best instrument, Peru trips, stalking JC on facebook, etc.
So, the delay made me miss my flight to Newark. After typical running-around-the-airport-after-missing-a-flight shenanigans, I got to Newark at 1:30pm. And have been here, in this massive airport in one of the worst states (no offense, KB/Real Housewives) of America, for the past seven hours. My 5:20pm flight to Harrisburg was canceled. So, I was on standby for the 9 o’clock.
My mom couldn’t wait longer to see me so is driving here now to take me home. I’ve been in airports for the last 26 hours and am so sick of it. I was supposed to be eating Tostitos lime chips 7 hours ago! I’m just ready for Sheetz and Pennsylvania: THE BEST COMMONWEALTH!
Welcome Home Mary!
We’re glad you’re home but we will miss reading about your adventures. I think we are a little too old and square to follow the goings on at Syracuse. No emoticons from us.
Enjoy your cheez-its and your trip to Sheetz- Izzy still talks about going there with you last Summer.
Love, Dan, Mary and Izzy
