Leaving Mexico! - Trip day 16/17

The final leg of the trip. For the last time we had a walk around the town of Akumal where we were staying and took in all that we had experienced there.

 

And just like that it was time to make our way home. The coach picked us up around 11 am and took us straight to the airport. When we got there we still had a couple hours until our first flight from Cancun to JFK so we just went around some shops and got some last minute items. Mostly treats. The first flight went alright although it was a bit slow and where the plane had 1 TV for every 10 rows you basically had to put up with what's on, on a TV 5 metres away and 10 inches wide or you had nothing.

The second flight wasn't until around 11pm from JFK back to Heathrow. Some people had a cheeky McDonald's and others, including me had nothing. Once we boarded the flight and took off it was around midnight so all we wanted to do was sleep. The crew had other ideas though. At around 1 am they decided to bring around dinner. A curry of all things. It was nice but not something to eat on a plane at 1am. Arrival was safe and we quickly collected our bags but due to the times of the National Express, we had to wait a couple hours until we could leave the airport. The rest of the journey though was alright. We had a nap on the coach on the way to the ferry and once we got on that ferry, we knew we were home. My parents and my brother were there waiting for me. I had an awesome time but it was so nice to be home!

Toodles for now.

February 12th 2016

Travelling home today from my mini vacay. 2 trains, a boat, another train and a walk up a hill with my suitcase. It took about 3 hours in total to get home, everything worked to the correct time. It was a simple journey.

I got home and first thing I did was have a shower. Not because I smelt but because there is something about being in your own home, showering in your own shower and eating your own food. After my shower I felt so much better. So comfy in my woolly pyjamas. But I dare not to get too cosy because in 2 hours I had work. If I got too comfy I would fall asleep and then never want to go to work. Instead I started watching The Good Dinosaur. I had heard it was good and it looked cute so thought I'd check it out.

Work was boring, not very busy but surprisingly the time went pretty quickly. I had work from 5 until close. I managed to get out by 9.30. 

I got home, put on my pyjamas again which I secretly had placed on one of our radiators so I just new it would be toasty and warm for me. Got in bed and relaxed with a not so relaxing episode of Grey's Anatomy which has just come back off it's midseason break.

February 11th 2016

After some people getting back from a club at 3.30 this morning, I went back to sleep and woke up around 9. I watched the latest episode of Chicago P.D. whilst I waited for a friend to wake up and then got up and ready.

Not much was planned for today. Just a trip to town to go shopping and a cafe. I ordered a hot chocolate without thinking. I had decided yesterday to give up chocolate for lent since it is the majority of my diet! I quickly changed my order to a strawberry and banana smoothie. It was delicious.

Went back to the house and relaxed. Had a Google. Had a sausage pasta dinner, some fudge, cupcake poptart and some sweet popcorn. Watched the end of Ant Man.

Very quiet day today and also my last day on my mini holiday. I go home tomorrow.

Missed a couple weeks..

For the next couple weeks I didn't really write down what I did or didn't do but basically I went to work when I had to be at work and sat at home when I didn't have to be at work. It was a whole lot.

I hope you dont mind but I am going to skip the last couple weeks and continue from now. Like I say, I never did anything that exciting that is even worth boring you about.
