Time to leave

Time to leave :( So sad.

We started off the morning in Grand Central Station. Hayley and I had breakfast with our friend Kathie. It was so awesome to catch up with her! Afterwards we headed into Times Square for some last minute shopping and to meet up with Britt. So sad to be finishing up with everything.

Once we walked home we had to finish up packing.. which we thought would take maybe half an hour. Boy were we wrong. Where did we get so much crap? I can't believe how much stuff we have! It's unbelievable. Each suitcase had to be sat on to be done up, and even that was a struggle. It was hilarious though! We had about 5 bags each. Five elevator trips later, we had all our suff downstairs and had to find a cab big enough to fit everything. It ended up with Britt running down the middle of the road.

We piled everything into the cab and an hour later we were at the airport, still struggling with our bags. Checking in was fun :P Luckily we had a lovely check in Lady, who was extremely patient seeing as everyone of our bags were overweight. We ended up each wearing about 3 jackets each.. I was carrying folders and photo albums, Britt had shoes in her pockets and Hayley was trying to figure out how to wear two pairs of shoes. 

We didn't have to wait around for too long before we got on our flight. It was okay, except for the one hour taxi on the runway. I fell asleep before we even left. Once we were in LA we just grabbed some food and only had to wait around for about 2 hours. About 16 hours later we were back in Sydney :( The flight wasn't too bad.. I slept a bit (in painful positions but ohwell) Once we'd finally collected all our bags we met our families at the airport which was very nice!

We didn't wait around too long before it was time to say goodbye :( As if it wasn't hard enough leaving Amanda and Sara back in America but then I had to say goodbye to Britt which was so depressing. Atleast she only lives 15 minute away instead of 30 hours!

We hopped in the car and headed home. 

... unpacking began with lying out all the things we'd brought back with us... WOW.
