Monday
Left Lerato's apartment at 06:30 in the morning and she thought I was crazy for leaving so early for the airport BUT I'm one that believes in rather being safe than sorry. The ride to the airport was the most miserable ride EVER! I was sobbing all the way to the airport and had Beyonce's "I Was Here" playing in my head. The cab driver was very sweet and offered me some bubble gum (not sure if that was meant to calm my nerves and make me feel better) LOL
I got off the cab, checked in my luggage and $200 later (excess luggage) I was lying on the bench sobbing, nursing my runny nose and headache. Whilst lying there and feeling sorry for myself, I noticed a young woman who had the same at the airport I met beautiful Candice, who's become a good friend of mine. She's originally from Cape Town and had been living and working in the Big Apple for the year. Candice, is funny, smart and such a warm hearted person#loveher
Oh yes! 5hrs into my flight, I decided to visit the restroom and on my way there, one of the Flight Attendants points at me and "claims" to know me. In my very grumpy mood, I side eye her and say "no, you don't" but she insists that she does. On my way back to the seat I recall who she was and went back to confirm...it was my Prefect from when I was in Grade 8, Nkele Mogotlane. I spent the next 45min catching up with her and she spent the rest of the flight taking care of me and helping me nurse my flu.
We finally landed, spent about 30min waiting for our luggage. Candice and I said our goodbyes as she had a connecting flight to Cape Town. My sisters were already waiting for me and what joy it was to finally see them and embrace them. We went straight to my older sister's place, spent the day with my nephew and then headed home to my folks house round 6pm.
Thank you very much for following my blog and having shared this amazing experience with me. I am so blessed to have experienced all that I did in America. I'm grateful for all the friends I've made and I will miss you all immensely. This is definitely not a goodbye but a "see you later"
God Bless xoxo
