comes the time to reflect, reminisce and embrace the way we always grow when traveling.
Each night our group meets in the community room of our hostel to review the day and plan for our next day. These 9pm meetings always become a wonderful evening ritual that brings the group together in more ways than one. It is a time to work on our blog, do homework, socialize with other travelers and relax together. I will start our trip home with a photograph of our last meeting Saturday night because I enjoy this time with the group so much.
Officially - Our last day began at 5:45am in the entrance way of our beloved Clink 78.
Our bus driver packed us up for a quiet ride through the early morning streets of London
to Heathrow Airport.
We arrive without a hitch and are honored to be flying out of "The Queen's Terminal"
London is a warm, polite, and inviting city, and they wish us goodbye.
After an uneventful flight to Newark International Airport, we are promptly picked up
by our shuttle bus to Albany.
We have one final group hug and go our separate ways to prepare for the start of
school tomorrow.
Each student received a momento from London–A bag of Hardy's traditional British candy including the famous fried egg candies and a pin commemorating the lovely London Underground design system. The original design of this Underground system was Harry Beck.
Thank you to our wonderful group of travelers. Everyone was prompt, considerate, enthusiastic, thoughtful and ready for an adventure. We built good memories and lasting friendships. I hope this trip is the starting point for many wonderful traveling experiences for our students.
A special thank you to Chris St Cyr who was there to pick up the many loose threads, support our blog, expand our trip social media presence, and be a great travel companion.
CHEERS! To our blog followers. We hope you enjoyed our adventure.
