Two words: travel sickness. I thought I'd grown out of it a long time ago but disaster struck at the end of the 8 hour flight from London to Chicago...
I thought I'd make it. My stomach was doing somersaults and my temperature was rising but there were only 10 minutes of the flight remaining. "We are about to begin our descent into Chicago," the captain's voice rang over the intercom, "Please fasten your seatbelts." I heaved a huge sigh of relief...I was sure that when I landed I'd feel much better. The plane began to drop...rapidly! I heard groans around me as it bumped up and down and rolled through the sky like a drunken seagull. I closed my eyes. The rollercoaster ride continued. I searched around for a bag. The plane plunged and rose again. I felt my stomach flip. There was no bag. Embarrassment flooded me as I threw up just as the plane touched down. It went everywhere. What a way to start my American adventure...

Really Miss Swales I am appalled that you upchucked on the plane in front of everyone! That is no way for a North Eastern lady to behave. However I think it is very funny way to introduce yourself to your new countrymen (and women). I hope you are settling in to your new home okay and getting along with your housemates. Sorry I didn't see you again before you left but hope to speak to you soon!

Helloooooooooooo Floppsies mum
Glad to see you arrived in the Windy City without causing havoc(not).
Good to see you can still make me laugh even when your not here. I fo
und your antics on the journey hilarious & keep picturing your embarrassment, wish I had been there. When I'm feeling down I will remember your journey story. Hope I don't start giggling in class as it will sound a bit silly saying "Its that Miss Swales making me giggle".
Soz I didn't hang around when you left but it would have been emotional & I would have hated you going away with me on your mind (as if).
Anyway you enjoy & make the most of it, if anyone deserves it, it is you. Our loss is their gain.
Look forward to seeing you when you come back to KG oops sorry I mean visit. Sorry if this is a bit long winded, promise I will keep practising my writing skills.
Take care
Mrs B
PS.I have a new partner in crime.

I almost spit coffee all over my computer when I read this. Fortunately, we Americans are a bit more adept at keeping our liquids down.
