Day 40- Final Day

This was our last day of the journey. We woke up around 8am and left the hotel at 9am. The ride to the airport was only 30mins away so the ride over was not too bad. Our flight was not leaving until 1:25 so we had plenty of time to kill. We checked our bags early and Ashley and I were able to get upgraded to the next class up for our long flight and we were so excited. We decided to just kill time at the mall inside the airport and hang out in McDonald's. The chairs there were really weird but it was a nice place to kill time. When it got closer to time we went to the gate and slept until we could board. The 2 hour ride was not too bad and then we were in London. We got to London and our gate was not given yet so we figured that we had a delay. We were right. We had a 1 hour delay but before we knew that we went to grab some dinner and turn in our tax free forms in too. Once we found out that our gate was determined we hustled over to the gate and waited for more information. We were correct, it was an hour wait and after we boarded it was another 30 min wait to take off but here's the nice part. There was something wrong with our upgraded ticket so Ashley and I got upgraded again into Club World section. This section is virtually first class. My chair turned into a bed and I had a huge personal TV and received a hot towel and noise canceling headphones as well. Also I got a newspaper to read while we waited to take off. I was living the life. The meal was actually real food and the drinks were unlimited. Life was good. I watched two movies along the way and time flew by. Before I knew it we landed and the journey was over. We landed and went through customs and were excited to see Mom and Dad on the other side. We drove home and unloaded all the gifts that we got and went to bed in our own beds. The trip was unbelievable and I probably will never forget it. This is the last post of the blog. I hope everyone enjoyed reading and being a part of this experience. Thank you
