I'll sleep when I'm dead

9:55am
    Finally found an outlet to charge my phone. Of course, it’s next to a smelly indian man. Trying not to gag. WARNING: London Heathrow Airport has a total of 5 outlets - 2 don’t work- in the whole dang airport, so I’m telling you now, turn your phone off through the 8 hour flight. You’ll regret it if you don’t!
     The flight from Dallas to London went well, I slept about 3/4 of the way. I’m still exhausted, though. I woke up once because I was having a hard time breathing. That was scary. Luckily, other than the minor panic attack, the flight went pretty well and I don’t feel nearly as terrible as I usually do after being on a plane. Maybe it’s the excitement.
    I’m so ready to be able to sleep in a bed!! This airplane snoozing just doesn’t cut it! Luckily, in just a few short hours ( I say short, I mean 7) I will finally be in Granada. Hopefully all will go quickly and smoothly at customs so I can get to my new apartment quickly and unpack. Somehow I doubt it does. I would just like a chance to shower! Not to sound like a snob, but foreign airports are sick!

2:30pm
    Just got off my flight from London to Madrid. It was much better than the first flight! Now I’ve just got to wait another hour before I can board my plane to Granada. Finally met up with some of the other study abroad students with CEA and got to meet a few of them. So far everyone seems really nice. There are about 10 of us taking the flight from Madrid to Granada. Just one more hour of plane riding and then no más!

7:50pm
    Just got to the apartment! The first thing I did was log onto our Wi-Fi. So glad our apartment has it!!! The apartment is small but super cute! We have 2 balcony windows that we can open to look down on the street. Our neighborhood is full of cute little shops, and right across the street is a bargain shoe store. That one is going to get me into trouble : ) The roommate, Jensen, and I are about to head out and explore. Our apartment is lacking most of the necessities so we’re gonna have to go out and find a good place to shop. Too bad Spain doesn’t have Wal-Mart! Also, it’s been 12 hours since I’ve eaten anything and 29 hours since I’ve had a real meal so I suppose it’s time for me to try some authentic Spanish cuisine. I’ll post again soon.

  1. Yay! I'm glad your flights went well and you didn't get sick. You think the airports you were in were nasty, you should go to an airport in a 3rd world country, lol. Can't wait to hear more and if you buy any cute shoes, I wanna see them!

  2. I haven't bought any shoes yet! I'm trying to pace myself, but I have a feeling I'm about to give in!
