London & Paris
Day 7: Saying ''Au Revoir''
I woke up that morning with a feeling of sadness overcoming me. It was my last day in Paris. I got ready, finished packing, and went down for breakfast. After breakfast, I went back up to my room and grabbed my bags and headed to the front desk.
I headed down to the parking lot to say goodbye to my friends who were staying in Paris for an extension, and we headed off to Gare du Nord. I said more goodbyes to the others who were headed off to Amsterdam or Rome. It was an emotional time, I was finishing the greatest journey of my life. I headed off to take the RER to Charles de Gaulles for my flight. The ride was long, I spent the time going through pictures I took during the trip, and making sure my passport and tickets were in order.
When I got to the airport, I went off to find my terminal, and checked in. Then, I was hungry so I got a snack and a drink from a snack bar. After that, I headed toward security. After the entire process of getting everything through security, I headed toward the lounge area for my flight.
On my way there, I got myself some Ladurée macaroons (for my last taste of Paris), and a few trinkets to give my family. As I waited for my flight, I reflected at how lucky I was to have gone on this amazing journey. From the moment I got on the plane to London, to that moment at Charles de Gaulles; I was so grateful that I lived my dream. I couldn't believe how many good friends I have made on that trip, they were so much fun to be around. Going home felt good, but I still miss everyone that I met. And I hope that someday, we will all meet up again.
So, what's next?? Well, I have not quite decided on where I will be going; but I know that wherever I go; I will be so lucky to live and experience my next adventure the same way I experienced this one.
