El Matador Beach








1 is the amount of hours  i slept on Monday night
2 is the amount of hours it took to fly from Florida to JFK airport on Tuesday morning
3 is the number of planes we flew on
4 is the number of airports we were in 
5 is the terminal number S and I had to RUN back to because i left my passport on the plane we had taken from FL to NY (nice one Megan)
6 is the amount of hours we had to wait until our flight departed from NY to London
7 is the amount of hours it took to fly from NY to London
8 is the amount of times i thought i was going to puke the entire day

and skipping ahead..

30 is the amount of hours we were awake and traveling
and 20 is the amount of hours we slept last night.

Needless to say WE ARE BACK IN SCOTLAND
and although we are not at the magnificent El Matador Beach in Malibu, California
the sun is shining,
and the weather warm..
so I am not completely devastated to be back in the UK.
yet.

  11. Oh the beach, so beautiful! I would be just like you though and forget my passport somewhere, it's just my luck! I'm glad you got to finally sleep though, just reading about the traveling is making me sleepy!

  12. Good grief! That is A LOT of traveling. Thanks for bringing the heat with you... except for the fact that it's sweltering when there's no A/C :) Welcome back to GB!

  13. Holy nightmare! Good golly, that is some intense traveling. A part of me wants to move to the East coast so I can be closer to Europe, but your journey sounds insane! And losing your passport? My heart dropped to my stomach at the thought. So glad Stephen was able to get it. Talk about knight and shining armor.
