PARIS

Paris and I, we have a love hate relationship. Why? Well, when we left the hotel (at like 1 because we woke up super late) we had no idea where we were going (although that didn't change much throughout the day, either), we couldn't understand or read really anything (BUT JESSICA, YOU SPEAK FRENCH DON'T YOU? I took two semesters. I can say 'I love cats' and tell you that I am boring. I may be able to order some food. But I most certainly cannot ask where something is and expect a response that makes any sort of sense to me), and the Metro map was the most confusing thing ever. After we FINALLY caught on and got to where we wanted to go, it was fun. But then, THEN we were trying to get back to the hotel so we could stop for a sec and then go eat, BUT WE COULDN'T FIND THE BLOODY METRO STATION. THEY ARE NOT LABELED VERY WELL. WE WALKED AROUND FOR ALMOST TWO HOURS AIMLESSLY BECAUSE WE COULDN'T FIND IT. OH MY GOD I AM SO MAD ABOUT THAT. *cough* anyway.... We finally got back and went to dinner at a little cafe down the street from our hotel. I had spaghetti bolognese, if you wanted to know. So as of right now, I am happy with this big, dirty city. Tomorrow we will have crepes for breakfast (I had a nutella  panini and a nutella crepe today, I will never be able to eat the ones at home anymore), then we will walk around this area for a bit and then get ready and head to the train station to catch the Eurostar and head back to the UK. SO, who wants to see some pictures from today? Well guess what? YOU'RE GOING TO SEE THEM ANYWAY :)
**NOTE** A lot of the pictures seem to be sideways. I don't want to take the time to figure out how to fix it, so just tilt your head.

Whirlwind London Visits and Back to Scotland

Image
I FINALLY made it to the UK. The flight situation was an absolute nightmare. We were delayed 20 hours first due to a mechanical issue, then due to the fact that we no longer had a pilot who could fly for that long. It was stressful. I cried a number of times and had to be picked up and taken back home for another night. We finally got out of Salt Lake and the flight seemed to be okay, but then we learned that not all the entertainment systems worked. Because my screen didn't work the half of the flight, I didn't even have a reading light which was terrible. They got it working finally, but the whole flight situation was an absolute nightmare. I arrived in London where they have a new border system for certain passports. I just had to scan my passport and stand in front of a camera, which was super weird. I got through in record time, no passport stamp (which made me a bit sad) and headed into London to meet Lucy! We had breakfast, hung out at King's Cross, and met a lad...

2019 Christmassy UK Visit

Image
I made my trip to the UK in November, but it wasn’t quite what I planned it to be back in July. It ended up being a very chill trip spent with a ridiculous amount of cups of tea in bed with some of the people I love most. I was really lucky I didn’t get delayed like last time, but I did manage to book myself a 5 and a half hour layover at JFK on the way there (what an amateur, amiright?), so that was super long. But I made it there in once piece on Wednesday and met up with Lucy to have a Nando’s and work our way out of central London and out to Surrey. We arrived at her house where I was greeted with many a birthday decoration, a pile of presents, and a cupcake. We had takeaway from a really good Indian restaurant and spent the night watching I’m a Celeb with her family.  She then surprised me with a super cute cake, which was adorable. Thursday was a busy day spent in London looking at Christmassy sights and shopping for somethings. We walked Regent ...

Making my way back to Plymouth

Image
This year, due to lack of funds, my trip was postponed until September/October. I found a killer deal on flights, so I booked and hoped that my friends would be able to see me during that time. Luckily, they were all available! Two days before I left this time, I got a terrible cold. I went to Walgreens and spent $70 on cold medicine so I could hopefully not be sick when I came over. Didn't work, but hey ho, worth a shot. I got on the plane and luckily I didn't have anyone sitting next to me, I didn't feel so bad coughing, but I did feel bad for others near me. I did my best to sleep, didn't work well even with NyQuil. Once I arrived, I had about an hour and a half to get through customs and to the train station to catch my train to Exeter. To my surprise, there was hardly anyone in line to get through the UK border. Everything was going well. Too well. I got the train station, got up to get on the train, got on the correct coach and suddenly looked at my ticket and...
