The very last day of our trip to the US started on the plane from Newark, New Jersey to Vienna. We had boarded the aircraft at 5pm the day before and gotten through quite a turbulent start, causing a delay in our dinner, which we all enjoyed nonetheless.
When the flight finally became steadier, everyone calmed down and got ready for a night on the plane: some of us watched a movie, some tried to find a comfortable position and go to sleep - not an easy task in a small aircraft full of people! But time flew by quickly and after having tea and a muffin for breakfast, we soon landed in Vienna.
Since it felt like we'd gotten up at 1am after only a few hours of sleep, most of us were very tired and worn out by the eventful last days of our journey.
Thankfully, our connecting flight to Salzburg was on time and after a short stop at the airport in Vienna, this last part of our big trip went by without any complications.
When we finally arrived in Salzburg at around 11am, or 5am in America, everyone was greeted by happy family members who were dying to hear all about our experiences.
Whether the rest of the day was spent sleeping or trying to outwit the impending jet lag, I'm sure we all had to tell our parents about our amazing host families and the big cities, and everyone was really grateful to have us back.
I'd like to say thank you again to our teachers, who made this journey possible, tried their best to ensure that everyone was comfortable with their surroundings and kept calm and ready to cheer us up even in the few critical situations.
Also, a big thank you to our host families who did their absolute best to show us their world and make us feel welcome in their home for two weeks. We're excited to do the same for our host siblings in April and hopefully meet all the amazing people we've gotten to know again someday!
