Our trip home started at 3am in the lobby of the hotel. We
got our breakfast boxes and loaded the bus. It was sad saying bye to Petr. We
had a good time with him in the Czech Republic. At the airport in Prague they
called you to check your bags in by flight which was different from how we do
it in the United States. I breezed through security and got to our gate an hour
and a half before the flight. I wanted to make sure that I slept well on the
long flight so I went and grabbed and red bull and a vanilla muffin which
tasted like white cake. We departed from Prague at 6:25am and landed in
Amsterdam at 7:55am. We all went off to get some food before the nine hour
flight and about twenty minutes after we all went our own ways, we realized that
we needed all twenty-two of us to go through security at our gate. I managed to
grab some chips and a sandwich while I rushed to the gate. The security at the
gate in Amsterdam was different from how we do it in the United States. We had
to go in groups of four to have our passports checked and they asked us
questions. They were making sure that we weren’t bringing anything back for
anyone else. Then we had to go through security all over again and get pated
down just to go sit at our gate. We boarded our flight on time at 10:20am and
headed to Minneapolis! On the flight I watched the movie Taken and watched a
couple episodes of Two and a Half Men. I managed to get some sleep on the
flight and we arrived in Minneapolis before we knew it! Once we landed in
Minneapolis we had to go and clear customs. I stood in line to hold our spot
and when the rest of the group joined, everyone in line was not happy. We had
to pick our bags up and take them to a different location for them to make the
connecting flight and then go through security again. We got to our gate with
about 45 minutes until boarding time. We went to a little market in the airport
and got a snack for the flight. We boarded our flight and left at about 3:10pm.
We landed in Kansas City at about 4:45pm and I rushed off the plane to the
baggage claim to see my mom! I had a three hour drive back to Omaha ahead of
me. We got my bags and then hopped in the car and headed that way. I talked
with my mom for about a half hour before I fell asleep for the rest of the
drive home. When I got home to my apartment I was greeted by my dog and
boyfriend! We had dinner and I went on and on about our trip. I managed to keep
myself awake until about 11pm so that I could try and get back on my normal
sleeping pattern. Overall we had an easy
travel day and managed to not get stuck by any delays!
