Day 7- Friday

We had to wake up at 3:00am, which was so miserable. We just packed everything up and left Rapaco for the last time at 3:30am. The kitchen staff made us fruit bags to take on the road with us. We all went to sleep as soon as we got on the road and I slept till about 6 or 7. The ride was fun once we all woke up because we had gotten so close spending the whole week together. When we got to the airport we had to get our bags checked in and go through security, which was a lot more slack than in the United States. My flight left at 1:00pm and arrived in Atlanta at around 4:00pm. When we got to Atlanta it was raining and foggy so the airport was MADNESS with all the flights being delayed or cancelled. We first had to go through customs which was very packed with people so that took about an hour. Then we found out about all the flight crazyness. It was pretty frustrating to deal with all that without my parents, but I survived! Whitney ended up having an earlier flight than mine so I put my name on the standby list for hers which was supposed to depart at 8:00pm. Mine wasn't scheduled to depart until 10:30pm. At around 12:30am they finally started boarding Whitney's flight and they called some standby names, but then stopped. They started calling a few more names and mine was called! I was so relieved. The flight was about 56 minutes and then we landed in Raleigh. Whitney and I were waiting for our bags and I couldn't find mine at all and then we realized that I switched planes at the last minute so my bags probably didn't make it on the flight. My mom came and picked me up from the airport and when we got back to my apartment it was 2:30am. I had traveled for 23 hours and was absolutely exhausted. My mom said my bag arrived at around 6:30am with the guy delivering it banging on the door. I had an amazing trip and I'm glad I got to end my week with my mom in Chapel hill for a few days!
