Day 12: August 22, 2014
Today is the day we all return to the United States from Brazil. It was bittersweet, but I was glad to be heading home. After going to the local Foz de Iguassu airport with the majority of my classmates, Aryel and I went on to Rio de Janiero to continue or journey back to the States. After catching some coffe at the Rio de Janiero airport, Aryel and i eventually split ways as I continued on to a connecting flight to New York and Aryel went to North Carolina.
After spending 8 hours on a flight from Rio de Janiero to New York with no in-flight entertainment, nobody is a happy camper
I landed in New York early Saturday morning, around 6:00AM. Hoping to arrive back in Washington DC at an even earlier time, I transferred flights from my 11:00AM to 8:00AM. Unfortunately for me, my flight was delayed significantly and ended up leaving at the same time as my original flight. After spending upwards of 14 hours in the air I finally reached home. Brazil was truly an unforgettable experience, where I made great friends. I can’t wait for the opportunity to be able to travel there again.
