On leaving London. Part 2.

Getting through Customs and Immigration was stressful even though all my papers were correct and I had never been in trouble with the law.  So I was very relieved to get that over and done with. But even then my journey was not over, I had to get on second plane to my final destination.

This is always fun, as you have to go through security yet again, find your terminal and gate, then get there in time to get the plane. Considering you have to wait in line in a quite massive queue to get through Customs and Immigration, sometimes it can be touch and go! But this time I got there with plenty of time.

It's about this time that you really start to realise that nearly everyone has an American accent (Yeah I know, I am in America, right? D'oh, no surprise there!) That's when it hit me, I wouldn't be seeing London for awhile and life here would be a little different than before. The unwritten rules of London would not apply here, I could be polite to people if I wanted without being stared at like some sort of crazy guy.

One of the first things I noticed as I walked steadily to my gate was the fast food joints had relatively cheap prices compared to London.  I mean, a foot-long sub from Subway could cost you nearly eight Pounds (about $13) in London. Plus customer service was infinitely better than in London, where your server rarely smiled and just stared at with you with contempt while reciting the agreed corporate greeting of the Brand.

Well the short domestic flight was uneventful, and I listened to music on my Ipod while gazing happily at the fluffy white clouds below us. I was thinking about my fiance and I was happy. There was some turbulence, but nothing crazy.

Is there anything better than being picked up in an Airport by someone you love and have missed alot? I don't think there is much that beats that! It was night when I landed and my fiance and I indulged in our routine of going to get something to eat from Taco Bell. Then we drove to our new home, where I washed up and promptly fell asleep.
