Day 13- December 29th- Going Home from Denmark

 Today, we woke up at 4 A.M to get ready to go home. All of us got dressed and gathered our belongings. This took approximately thirty minutes. Then we went downstairs to eat breakfast in the lobby of the hotel. At 5 A.M, we rode a bus to the airport, which took an an hour and forty-five minutes because of the switch in hotels. We arrived at the airport at 6:45 A.M, so we could be early to check in and go through security. We boarded the plane at 8 A.M, but the plane left at 8:15 because there were no problems. On the plane ride to Amsterdam, we watched movies. Some of the movies we watched were Clueless.

     At 9:40 A.M, the plane arrived in Amsterdam. We made sure to get to our next gate before we did anything. We had a four hour layover at the airport, so we decided to rest a little and get some food. In the airport, there was a McDonalds in the airport, so we decided to eat there. We all got inexpensive meals, just to save as much money as possible. The McDonalds in the airport was very different than in the US. They served alcohol, while McDonalds in the US do not. This is because the culture and laws are different in Europe, compared to the United States. 

     During the layover, we read and watched movies on our phones. With the extra time, we also decided that we should all take naps. We get on the next plane to Philadelphia at 1:20 in the afternoon. This plane ride should only take about two hours and twenty minutes. So during the time we are on the plane, we all did different things. Taylea and Mary Kate blabbed about volleyball, Alex slept, and Morgan and Ellie watched Mean Girls. That took up the majority of the time we were on the plane. We got off the plane in Philadelphia at 3:50 P.M.

     In Philadelphia, there was another layover for three hours. When we got off, we slowly walked to our gate to consume time.We just ate some of the food that we packed in our carry ons. We sleep and watch television during the layover. 

     At 6:15 P.M, we get on our last flight to RDU. The flight is only one hour and thirty minutes long, so we chose to sleep the whole plane ride. When we woke up, we only had three minutes left of the flight. We got to Raleigh and claimed our luggage at 7:49 P.M. It was late, so we all wanted to go home and get some rest.
