London/Heathrow ---> ALMOST Home

Rant, rave &*(!)*£*$(!!!!!!
So I'm stuck in Londen where I'm trying to stay awake to get rid of the 12 hour jetlag even though it feels like 3 in the morning!
I was walking around the airport where everything is mighty expensive and where I really donlt want to buy anything even if I could carry it, to stay awake. Half an hour, I can do it! Then I looked at the board and it said: delayed, so Now I'm pissed... I mean, being delayed in LA is one thing, but being so close to home and then not getting there is actually really frustrating, and that after the typical Londen-Heathrow customs which take forEVER!!! Newayz..

Last night, ot actually that would now be two nights ago.. Amy decided seeing as we couldnlt get hold of the french guys by phone or msn that we should just drive by, because when am I going to see them otherwise?? it was quite a mission because they live up in this apartmebnt where you canlt get into and in which the buzzers donlt work. If you live on the 11th floor that si the only floor you can stop at. So we convinced this girl who lived on the 16th floor to let us up and we tried to take the fire exit stairs down. This was a good idea untill we realised that all the doors wre locked form the inside, so we got to walk down 16 flights and ended up outside again.
Next I tried to sweet talk the guard in letting us up, he could come with us if he wanted and then I could knock on their door. If they wern't there we would ome down with him. Well he was not allowed to let us in.. but he could go up there and knock himself, so that is what happened... we got lucky and could hang out for a little bit! YUSSS!

Before we went out there, I had had a good bye dinner . Awwww! I was sent to my room by an 8 year old (Emilie) who with her sister cut out some pictures and organised the night and made the table. We played a game (if you were lucky we got three different coloured stickers and we would win the grand prize!!! and I got a little card as wel as her sister and her mom. Mine said: we will miss you, see you next year! The one for her sister wished her luck with her first year at school and her moms I'm not sure, but moms are something you just canlt skip.. right?
*reminds me of when I was in Ethiopia and I made cards for all the visitors that we got when my parents had a party or something. I just sat around at the door for everybody to come, the amount of patience you have for those kind of things at 8!*
So that was really adorable! Though I feel terrible that I forgot the candy lei that I got (however I'm sure the kids don' t mind)

We dropeed Iris off earlier that day, also a bit of a wierd sensation as time flew by so fast it was hard to come to the realisation that it was really time for her to go. So yeah, see you in a year or so... :( But we had an awesome time!
Then Linda had to run some errands and while we were at Ross I decide ot buy a new bag as both of mine look like they might not make the journey home! uhoh! so I bought a cheap one so at least the smallest one could be raplaced and I had something to do whe I got back: Re-pack my bag!

I slept two hours before O life at 4:45 yesterday when Amy came to pick me up and drive me to thr airport. I obviously had to finish reading: My Sisters Keeper before I left. Defenitely recommended reading.

Okay my time is almost up! (bloody £3 for 30 minutes of internet)
Love you all!
See you soon!
