Sadly after an amazing three weeks, it was closing time for
our trip. Dr. V told us to be downstairs
at 7:00 for taxis to take us to the airport.
We all packed the night before so two of us in the room set our alarms
for 6:00. This would all give us some
time to get ready, finalize our packing, and still give us some breathing room
for some fruit and start saying our goodbyes.
Unfortunately that didn’t happen because both of us turned off our
alarms without hitting snooze and all of us overslept until 6:40, leaving us 20
minutes to get ready, finalize our packing and get downstairs. We ended up getting down there at 7:05 and were
the last group to leave. Not our finest
moment but I was still impressed we could get ready that quickly considering
the circumstances.
The 10-hour flight
actually flew by pretty quickly (no pun intended), though the long layover in Detroit
was brutal. It did give us all a good
chance to say goodbye and appreciate the times we had.
