Sorry for the delay in posting since I have been back. Been on the go a lot and am finally settled back in my condo. The flight back was a nightmare. We had to be diverted to this tiny airport in Bangor, Maine because of a medical emergency which turned into maintenance problems. We sat on the plane for 2 hours after landing then were taken into the airport about 5:30pm and held in a room because we couldn’t clear customs there. They flew a plane in from Boston but 10 people couldn’t get on because there wasn’t enough room. I ended up volunteering to stay in Bangor for the night which was the best decision. I was in my hotel room by 9pm on Christmas Eve and the others didn’t get to Philly until 12:30 in the morning and had to stay in a hotel there. I flew into Philly at 8am the next day and landed in Phoenix at 1pm on Christmas Day. I stayed with my sister for 3 days. We had a nice time. My niece had her 13th birthday on the 27th, so my sister and I spend the whole day with her doing things. My sister got some bad news that day. She has to have a 3rd back surgery. She is finally recovering from the second one and now she has to have another one. It’s a good thing I came back, she really needs me right now.
The first thing I noticed was how rude people are here. I do feel more comfortable here which I think is just because is it more familiar and everyone speaks my language. However, I am missing my family in Holland. Truthfully, I am feeling a lost and not sure what I am supposed to do with my life at this point. Hopefully, the answers will come soon.
Welcome back to America,we missed you.. very much….
Welcome back to one of the rudest places on earth…….Have a Happy New Year….
