As an extension of our world trip 6 years ago, I finally feel a sense of completion from this vacation. Although not all the destinations were explored on our itinerary from back then, we feel blessed to have had the opportunity to have gone back to any at all!
As I sit here and write this, I smile knowing that my dad would have gave me that look that said “I see that your wild spirit’s not going to stop you from going off and travelling, but I’m proud of you for following your heart and adventurous soul.” Thanks dad❤️
And thanks to all of you who followed our blog & adventures around the world both now and then!
So now it’s come to the time that I also complete the OTNAdventures Blog and say farewell...
...or maybe until the next adventure? God willing:)))
(I’m already dreaming up the next trip!π)
See you then!
Fiji Airways flight from Auckland to Fiji to Los Angeles. We heard Fiji Gold helps you sleep better in an upright position π» |
See you later Auckland. Hope to see you again one day!
Landing in Fiji, we watched as rain storm approached through sunny skies.
Upon landing, a rainbow appeared! ππ»✈️ π
Views over LA-one more leg to go! (LA to BUF)
Watching as the pilot made a smooth landing. Glad to be on the ground after 10hrs in the air.
Finally landed...in Rochester?!?!
We’re suppose to be in Buffalo but thick fog on the ground prevented the pilot from making a safe landing. Apparently it will be a few hours before it lifts so arrangements are being made to taxi us (and our luggage) back to Buffalo 50 miles away. Currently sitting in the airport waiting for the next adventureπ
Well...we went into this trip with an adventure so only seems fitting that we go out with an adventure! Fingers crossed our car is still in Buffalo π³
Note: it’s currently 2am, Shawn (is suppose to) work @ 6:30am, we’re still in Rochester BUT we’re still smiling!
Onto the Next Adventure! π
Update: The pilot announced it would be approx 6 hrs before the fog lifts so luggage was taken off the plane & taxis were ordered. With only one guy working at the airport terminal, we all did our best to be civil-and passengers were great. As soon as we heard the announcement, I shoved Shawn in line to add us to the list & we were on the 3rd taxi out (we call that“Amazing Race” styles). With little to no taxis available at that time of night we were lucky to be one of the first out-us and 5 others in a van taxi. An hour later we arrived in Buffalo & since I chatted up with taxi driver on the way, I felt bold enough to ask him to drop us off at our car-and he did! Makes up for the no shuttle to the airport on our first leg of our journey π We jumped in the car, glad to see it still were we parked it, and crossed the boarder in no time flat. My keen driving skills (AKA speedπ€«) got us home at 6am with just enough time for Shawn to shower, me pack some quick snacks & breakfast for him, to be out the door at 6:15. Now I’m off to bed! Gravol & melatonin should do the trick π΄
Finally home!!! ...55hrs later.
