For someone who despises and fears any even remote thought of flying anywhere, I think that I did pretty good considering that during probably 7 of the nine hours of the transatlantic flight there was turbulence. If it was shaking the 777 pretty hard, I would hate to imagine what misery I would have faced had it been an embrayer puddle jumper. After arriving in London, I had to run in order to catch the next flight. It arrived at the gate 5 minutes before it closed. London is weird because as soon as you get off the plane in terminal 5, you have to go through security. WTF, I figure that if you just got out of a plane from the US, then you have been very carefully screened. (no complaints though because I feel that better safe than sorry, especially with my fear of flying lol). After my arrival in Paris, I had to find a bus to take me on an hour drive across the city to the other airport. Once there, I met a girl traveling to Montpellier to the same organization with me. We hung out and I helped her out because the had recent leg surgery due to a car accident and was walking with crutches.
My last flight was uneventful until we flew over mountains with terrible turbulence. I was sitting next to an Air France pilot who kept me from throwing up by telling me stories lol. I felt like I five year old child lol.
My home stay family is the best. I have two sisters one who is 22 and the other 18. The oldest is about to go back to school in another city while the youngest is studying here. I am probably going to go out tonight. They went out last night, but I figured that I would rather take care of the jet lag.
Speaking of jet lag....I have none...weird! I went to bed at eleven at night and woke up at 8 am. The only problem is that I woke up with a migraine due to the worst case of dehydration EVER. I have never been this dehydrated even when I was backpacking in Arizona. I hate how I was not allowed to take a water bottle to the plane even if I was already thorough security. Oh well. I drank a liter of H2O this morning.
Well now, i'm off to explore. Will return later!
