Anyway, I have less than a week til I go back to England. How do I feel? To be honest, part of me is bloody scared but another part of me is sort of looking forward to it. On one hand, nothing will have changed and I'll be back at my parent's house going crazy. On the other hand, I see many of my friends for the first time in 10 or so months if not longer (in some cases over a year). Mixed feelings really. I want to come back and visit my friends here but money means that may not happen for a while and I'm worried they will forget all about me!! Did I mention that because of my own disorganisation, my journey is taking four more hours than it should? Yes, I have to fly BACK to Phoenix to get my flight to London. Essentially, I am flying west to go east. Yep, stupid but not much you can do when you plan things a week in advance of leaving Flagstaff!
Since being in Washington DC, I have done a lot of sleeping and gone to a few museums to be a geek. I am staying at a friend's really nice hotel type apartment so I haven't spent as much as feared. I think I may be going to Baltimore tomorrow then on sunday somewhere else. New York is looking unlikely sadly due to finances and the sheer time it takes to get there would make it not that worthwile for a day trip. On the upside, NYC will always be there and flights these days aren't that expensive.
Strangely enough, I am going to miss the US, especially Flagstaff and NAU. Despite the ups and downs of the year, I had an amazing time and really caught the travelling bug. I want to go so many places now but as ever, money will probably make some of that simply not possible. I need a job dammit!!
