Home!

I am now back home in Kentucky. We spend the last day in New Zealand at the Auckland Zoo. It was beautiful. My favorite parts were the kiwis, giraffes, and sea lions. It was a great last day!

Brittany and I had to fly back by ourselves which was kind of scary. We had to run to our first flight because the boarding time on the ticket was two hours before the plane left. they put it that was because there are so many passengers for the flight. We thought we were going to miss our flight but we actually had an hour wait before we got on. I slept off and on throughout the flight and watched two movies.

The 8 hour layover was very long. We ate, did homework, and walked around the airport. I bought a book and read the entire thing while we were waiting. The flight went pretty quickly. I could sleep so I read magazines and listened to my Ipod. while on the flight I realized I left my boarding pass for the Lexington flight in my carry-on. Unfortunately, they checked our carry-ons through to Lexington because there was not enough room on the LA to Chicago flight. Luckily, all I had to do was show my license to the people at the desk and they printed me a new one at the Chicago airport.

After three hours in Chicago we got on our last flight. I slept so it went by very quickly. My parents met me at the airport and took me home. It is good to be home but I already miss New Zealand. It was a wonderful experience and I am VERY thankful to have been granted this opportunity. I look forward to continuing to work on this project and see what comes from it.




P.S. I hope Dr. Lindsey and Dr. Fernandez are having a good time in New Zealand!
