Woops! I wrote this but forgot to post it when I landed because I was too tired! Well this was written Thursday, September 8th around 2PM

Hello guys! I’m sitting here in seat 32G where my butt has
been sitting for almost 7 hours! I’m really tired but can’t fall asleep so I
decided to write out my last blog post in the air above Canada (although it
will be posted once I’m on US soil!) I’m currently listening to music so if I
end up writing some song lyrics (uh oh, turbulence!) I apologize =]
Yesterday was pretty sad since I everything always started
out “and this is the last time I’ll…ride the tube, see Piccadilly Circus, have
a pastry & hot chocolate, etc. in London” (for now anyways). We (my
parents, godfather&wife&son, and I ended up going to the Chelsea
borough and walking around, eating at a café, and taking pictures of course.

Padrino Jochy, Amelia and Ignacio soon left and my parents
and I went shopping for souvenirs to bring back home. The store was huge but
it’s amazing how it was full of pretty much the same things: t-shirts, bags,
key chains and mugs! I mean there was other stuff but there were like 2 aisles
full of mugs! Oh, there was a very cool British-themed Mini Cooper in the
middle of the store!

Afterwards we set out for Leicester Square to find a place
to eat but I got a little…disoriented and it took us a pretty long time to get
there! My way: over 30 min. The Right way: 5 minutes…lol. We ended up not
eating there anyways and headed over to London’s Chinatown, where we had a
really good meal. The rest of the day (which wasn’t much since we left the
restaurant at like 9PM) is not blogworthy. It was just a mix of packing bags,
downloading and uploading pictures, getting ready for the next day, etc. I
ended up going to bed at 2:30AM which was not smart since I woke up a couple of
hours later.

And now here I am, aboard a plane that will cross into US
air space in a few minutes, extremely satisfied with my trip. I am glad that I
worked hard to save up for this vacation because it definitely paid off. I got
to visit one of the most recognized cities in the world, view amazing
architectures and monuments, actually forgot about all of my “US problems” as I
dubbed them, attended magical musicals and got to spend time with my godfather
& his family as well as my parents. I cannot thank them enough and they
will soon be getting a thank you gift but they will never see it coming
muahaha!
UYL,
Andre

Andre! I'm sorry I haven't been keeping up with your blog, I've been all over the place with college and really not on the computer that much or watching TV which is really odd for me! But I just read this and some of your other blog posts and your trip sounded amazing! That's such a cool experience! The only time I've been out of the country was when I was in 2nd grade and I really don't remember it all too well. But you're right, this blog is such a good way to write down what you did so that you'll always remember. I hope coming back to the U.S. isn't too much of a culture shock and that school goes well for you!
