It was so great to be back in the U.S. for the holidays. Not only did I get to see almost all of my immediate family (the exception being my youngest sister who lives in Germany) I also got to see a huge chunk of my girlfriends who are living in the U.S. It was rejuvenating to get to talk to people in person, instead of over Skype. By the end of my trip, however, I was ready to be back home in Lesotho. Here are some random stats of my visit:
Airports Visited: 8 (BFN, JNB, CDG, SLC, SEA, BWI, JFK, and MSU)
Cities Visited: 4 (Salt Lake City, Seattle, Baltimore, NYC and Paris)
Flights Taken: 10
Hours Spent on a Plane: ~55 (does not include layovers)
Movies Seen: 11 (2 on a plane, 4 in a theatre, and 5 at home)
Days in the U.S.: 26
Friends Seen: 12
Amount of snow falling from the sky: 0. This was the driest December in Utah on record.
Hours spent watching Teen Mom 2: I didn’t count, but enough to know that I should never be allowed to have cable TV.
Miles I Drove a Car: less than 1. I’ve realized that driving on the right side of the road just isn’t natural for me anymore. Every time I was in a moving vehicle and it made a turn I had to think twice about it.
Next time you are in Utah we need to get together. Sounds like you had a wonderful time.
K – I would love that!
