The Transatlantic Trip

Almost 3 years ago to the day, I was heading the airport ready to start my American adventure of 2016 (see here). I had just graduated, with no idea what the future would hold for me, my only goal was to get back to the U.S., experience more, visit more states and return to Mississippi where I left my heart in 2014. That trip could not have gone any better, I was lucky then to have the funds and the time to spend 7 weeks state-hopping: 7 to be exact FL, MS, CA, AZ, NV, NJ & NY!! 

Well here I am again, this time beginning my descent into New Jersey. 3 years later, freshly graduated once more. This time with slightly more future prospects as I'm set to begin my career as a teacher of my very own class of tinies in September. In the meantime, I am about to touchdown in New Jersey  to be reunited after sooooo long with this beauty.

You may remember Taylor from such posts as cross-country check in and the New Jersey local back in 2016. I first met Taylor when she arrived on campus for her study abroad semester at Reading, bright eyed and wide smiled (and not showing any signs of jet lag cus she's such a boss!!). Since then we have shared numerous adventures over the years despite living 4000 miles apart, and this week is time to make more memories!

I won't divulge any details of what we have planned just yet, but let me tell you we've scheduled in a long overdue catch up!

I count myself lucky to have met such a great friend in Taylor when our paths crossed back in 2015, since then we've never missed a Christmas or birthday sending transatlantic packages each year. She's one in a million and I am so excited for our adventures together.

Thanks T for making this happen, just 398km to go now! 

Look out for more posts coming your way soon! 

Speak soon,

Update: we never landed in NJ. Terrible storms meant that our flight was redirected to Boston. We landed here over 2 hours ago and have been waiting on board for the plane to be refuelled. As far as I'm aware, there is no plan after this so I'm just sitting tight. I swear these "adventures" only happen when I fly solo! Hopefully we make it to Newark soon...

Update: I eventually made it to Newark at 01.00amlocal time, that's 06.00ammy time, after travelling for 21 hours, 13 of those were inside the plane! Even though it's late, Taylor is on her way now to pick me up, what a rollercoaster!!
