Yesterday we were up all night into the early morning hours, enjoying our last view of the beautiful city and remembering the great time we all had. We cooked up some quick eggs and headed out for the airport. Arriving at the airport we all began to reminisce about the trip and how we will miss the house, our time with the orphans and especially our dope tour guide Carlos. After getting on the plane and landing in Miami it was now time to go through dreaded customs. As we made our way through the airport it was odd to see the airports directions in English, having been used to Spanish the entire trip.
Everything seemed to be going smoothly until Antonio and Ben were pulled aside, never knew not shaving for a week made someone look that shady. Me and the others made it through security and bag check fairly easily but were unable to meet up with Ben and Antonio for another 2 hours at the gate. Antonio and Ben (with Ms. Gomez) arrived back at the gate, as if it wasn’t crazy already racing around was seemingly for nothing...our plane is delayed 2 hours. While waiting to return home Mrs Campbell and Mrs Gomez complimented some of the qualities they noticed about each of us on the trip. We appreciated what they learned about each of us.
We boarded the plane to soon find out we had another 3 hour delay ahead of us. We all walked off the plane grabbed some food and waited at the gate. The time felt as slow as ever as we all were desperately waiting to arrive home. At 7:15 we finally boarded for what we hoped a successful trip. At the flight touched ground in Boston, it really began to hit us all of what a great time we had in Colombia, for me especially being my first time out of the country. I thank Mrs. Campbell and Mrs. Gomez for organizing a life changing experience for all of us.
