GOING HOME !!!

 Friday November 3, 2006 

I was supposed to stay 3 more nights in Amsterdam but changed my flight to Nov. 3rd for $230. (Crazy I know  but not going to lie, I was homesick. I justified it by saving 3 nights of hotel expense that I no longer have.

I have seen some amazing sights and done some amazing things. But enough us enough. 2 months is a long time moving what seems like non stop for a beginning traveler. My flight is scheduled  for 10:10 am.

I got to the airport at AMS at 8am. I realized after boarding that I had left my camera at the securtity check. All of my pictures. The stewardess let me go and retrieve it. I had been so careful for 60 days and almost lost it getting on the plane. It has been a great trip. Greece and Italy were incredible but Switzerland stole my heart. There is something about waking up in a small village in the middle of the Alps. I got back to Houston at 2pm and Angie was there to pick me up. I took my sister, Sandra, and Angie to dinner to thank them for putting me up and taking me to the airport and picking me up. I am glad to be home but at the same time a little sad the adventure is over. Traveling is an addiction and I was already feeling a little withdrawal 8 hrs after landing in Houston. Also, a special thanks to my brother, Morgan, whose European adventures were the basis for my traveling obsession.
