I am sitting in my room in Croatia and I don't know how to express how do I feel.
After almost 32 hours of traveling I'm back home. I come yesterday around 12.30 European time, 6.30AM East USA time and all my family wanted to see me.
When I finally reached my bed, I can't believe, but I have been sleeping for 15 hours.
Here is what I wrote during my travel 2 days ago on Boston airport:
It's 10th December and I’m flying back home. I’m at the moment at Boston airport and I had logiest saying goodbye experience ever.
Yesterday we had our final banquet and it was pretty emotional. We were drop off at 3PM and first we had educational time when we all tried to remember what was happening in the past 6 months in every each city. We laughed as we heard some really good stories and I really enjoyed every minute remembering what we all went through in past 6 months.
At 8PM, our final banquet started. I don’t remember right order, but we had some really cool moments together. They prepared for us, for every each person different awards and my award is for person who took the most photos ever in past 6 months.
After that we had some musical moments and some jokes. At the end, we finished getting our “Up with People diploma” when all staff members gave us diploma and congratulated for finishing the program.
After that we started to say goodbye to each other and at that point I still haven’t realized that end is here and that we really don’t have any time left. We started to pack bus and bus left Bangor at 2AM.
Bus ride passed very quickly and next thing I remember was Boston airport, 6AM, and taking luggage from the bus and starting to say goodbye to some people that are going to different terminals. That was hardest thing to do. I started crying like little baby and half of the people with who I was pretty close went to different terminal.
Few of us stayed at terminal C and one by one, everyone started to leave me. Last person with who I said goodbye was Martin, our cast manager. At least I thought he is going to be the last one at that time, but when I went to my security entrance, I saw Jaakko. He was saying goodbye to Emi and he is the last person to who I said goodbye with.
Now, I’m waiting for my flight to Washington DC to catch my flight to Croatia. It is going to be long traveling day for me and I am all alone.
Thank you everyone who wrote me small message and put inside of my envelope. That really gave me strength.
It’s so hard to be around 70 people for 6 months, not having minute of private moment, and now, after 6 months, sitting alone at airport and trying to figure out everything by myself.
