Today is the day!

It has been a relatively chilled morning as I didn't check out until 3 so I slept, watched tv and leisurely got ready for the airport. I put on jeans to wear to the airport and it feels so weird as I haven't worn them the whole summer!

I'm currently sitting in the lobby of the hotel waiting for the shuttle to go to the airport. Soon I'll be on my way home... I can't believe I've been here 3 months! I have definitley had the summer of a lifetime and made some friends that are now my new found family. Definitley heading back to Redwing next year! 

All for now, next time I'll write I'll be in England.....

Day 14/15: Miami and NYC

So all today was was a big driving day down to Miami, it took a total of about 5 hours. We eventually arrived in Miami which is beautiful! Anyway we eventually got to the right hotel after saying goodbye to everyone. It was nice to spend the two weeks with a great bunch of people! 

Nicole and I were sharing a room so we sorted our cases out and chilled for the evening. Nicole had to leave early the next morning for her flight home so we went to bed relatively early.

I said goodbye blearly eyed to Nicole at about 5.30 in the morning and webt back to sleep until I had to leave at 11.30. 

I headed to the airport and flew from Miami to JFK - it was an ok flight but I slept all the way so I was good!

I got to JFK about 5.30 and then headed straight to my hotel. I found my room and chilled for the evening. It was nice having a proper bed and TV!! 

Tomorrow is the day..... I'm heading home! I can't believe my summer is over!

Day 13: DISNEYWORLD

I think this sums up my excitement for today! We headed to the park and around 9 and went straight and bought Minnie ears! I was so excited!! Anyway we met up with Minnie Mouse and then walked down Mainstreet USA. We fastrscked all the busy rides and headed towards Tomorrowland to start rides! We started with Monsters Inc and then headed to Buzz Lightyear. We went on all the rides we possibly could! We lined up for the new ride "Seven Dwarves Mine Train" and we ended up waiting in line for at least 2 hours for this ride. Needless to say it wasn't the best one ever!

We watched the parade at 2pm and then it started raining so we hit the shops. Me + $$ + Disney = Spending ALOT! It was well worth it though! 

We met with the other characters too which was so much fun! Here are a few photos. I will get more soon as someone else got all the photos taken by the Disney photographers. 

It was time for the evening parade and the fireworks, they were fantastic! 

It was definitely the highlight of my trek! Cannot wait to go back to Disney sometime in the future! 

Tomorrow is the final day of my trek!

Day 12: Orlando

We decided to do something to make the most of our time in Orlando so me and a couple of the other girls headed to the waterpark Wet N Wild. It was so good!

Unfortuantely I don't any pictures as I didn't want my phone getting ruined but it was such a cool place. My favourite ride had to be the one that you stood in a box and the floor gave way underneath you and you dropped vertically down a slide! I have to say I was petrified but it was so fun! 

We spent the whole day at the waterpark chilling which was so good! We then headed to either the outlets or back to camp; I headed back to camp so I could save all my money for Disney! 

We decided to pay a little extra to stay in cabins rather than camping which was nice. We were able to shower and get ready for the next day without being in a smelly tent!

We had dinner then headed to bed because tomorrow... DISNEY!

Day 10/11: Panama City and Manatee Springs

It was a bit touch and go whether or not we were able to head to Manatee springs thanks to the possibility that Hurricane Erika wod be hitting Florida. We heard nothing from the trek company so we continued our journey to Manatee Springs. 

It was quite a long drive to Manatee Slrings but we finally arrived in the afternoon, it definitely wasn't the favourite of the places I've been yet! Anyway we set up camp.... On gravel.... And then headed down to the spring. First thing that out me off was the GIANT sogn telling you to be aware of the alligators.... Anyway we decided we'd still go into te spring and it was freezing but really pretty. We were in there for about 10 minutes when a local decided to shoe us the snakes that were around where we were sunbathing and swimming. I was out like a shot! 

We spent some time using wifi and chilling until the rain came. We headed back to camp, had dinner and then chilled as there is not much you can do in a rainstorm when staying in tents! 

Tomorrow we're heading to Orlando! Yay! 

Happy Reading!

Days 8/9: New Orleans and Panama City Beach

(This is a few days late thanks to the awful wifi we've had!)

We left New Orleans bright and early so we could start the long drive to Panama City Beach!

We first stopped off to go on a swamp tour and see alligators! 

The last alligator was the biggest they'd seen all summer!

After the swamp tour, the journey was about 5 and a half hours long. Needless to say it was TOTALLY worth it when we arrived in Panama. The campsite is sandy but all the same pretty decent. We had a quick dinner then headed to the beach to watch the sunset, it was AMAZING! (I forgot to take my camera down...) but we stayed on the beach for about 2 hours just chilling which was so good. 

This morning we got down to the beach for 9 o'clock so we could get a good bit of sunbathing done. Definitely worth it! Sunbathing then swimming in the sea which was so beautiful and warm!!

After lunch we then headed to go snorkelling. Only problem was was there were loads of Jellyfish and that freaked me out a bit! Anyway we got to swim in the sea and people caught all kinds of wildlife. 

So I got a selfie with a Starfish!! 

Tomorrow we're off to Manatee Springs which is a lazy river, that should be amazing! 

All for now! 

Happy Reading!
