This is it. Three hours until I'm off to London Heathrow Airport and on my way to Nairobi, Kenya. WOW!! My time in England has flown by and I can't believe its time for the next stage of my gap year! I've had a wonderful stay here and was able to see all of my family! This past weekend I took a train from Reading to London and then to Manchester to visit my cousin Alex at University. So much fun. We went clubbing with 3 of his house mates and I had a amazing time! It's much different then Toronto.. the atmosphere, music, dancing... everything! After staying at Alex's for 2 nights I took another train to my aunt and uncle's new farm house in the beautiful English countryside. The next day I returned to my Grandparent's house in Reading. I have really enjoyed spending a lot of time with my grandparents, its the first time I have visited them without my mom or sister! The best part about being here is waking up to breakfast in bed! A bacon sandwich and a perfect cup of tea.. how else would I ever want to wake up!? They have spoiled me while I've been here with everything I could possibly want which makes getting on the plane tomorrow even more difficult. But I am excited to really begin my adventure. I will have a few days in Nairobi before I meet my group with whom I will be sharing a bus with for the next 2 months traveling! As of now I will only be getting 2 hours of sleep tonight so im off to bed (if i can sleep with all this excitement!!). Goodnight! xoxo

So excited for you Lines!!!!! I'm so jealous right now - I would LOVE a bacon sandwich and a cup of tea at Nanny Joyce and Bob's! Hopefully you managed to get atleast a little bit of sleep tonight - or maybe its better you didn't, maybe this way you'll be tired enough to sleep on the plane! Great start to your trip! Good luck tomorrow - be SAFE. I love you so so so so much!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love, your favorite sister, (okay maybe tied with Elizabeth), Emily Marie
