Made it...barely

One word can describe my flights back to the States...BRUTAL! The only redeeming qualities about my trip was getting to fly to London with my new friend Schanell, and the fact all my luggage made it safely. The 3 hour layover in London went by fairly quickly, but the 6 in Chicago...not so much. And I really don't love the Chicago airport. Let's just say I started traveling at 7:00am Prague time, and didn't lay my head down until 8:00am Prague time. The loooooongest traveling experience e-v-e-r. Next time I'm definitely paying the extra $200 for one connection with little to no layover. Oh, and did I mention that out of my 3 pieces of luggage, the lightest came in at 27 kilos? I really hated those things by the end of the trip...

Typically I find my way to Target on my first day back, but this time CVS had to do. Don't you just love that feeling of walking into an American store knowing you can get pretty much anything you want? I love it...unfortunately, we didn't have a lot of time, so I just had to pop in and get the essentials. It was sooooo hard not to throw a million things into my basket!!! And I forget how friendly everyone is...asking me how I was doing, if I needed anything else, and did all that with a smile!! Oh glorious day...One question that threw me off is when they asked if I had a card...."A card?" I thought to myself. What kind of card? The customer behind me kindly stepped in and said, "A CVS card." Ohhhhhh, yeah, I probably don't have that with me.

I'll update with more happenings. Oh yeah, and for those who don't know I'm in Philly right now. After a week here in Philly I'll be heading home to Dallas. Pray you are doing well!!
