Hi Everybody!

I finally arrived in Jamaica the day before yesterday after a long journey through London and the US. It was really difficult for me to leave Hungary and I wasn't sure how I'd feel when I got here but it really feels great to be home and I'm so thankful for my friends and "family" here. I'll be posting pictures of my Gambia trip as soon as I get the chance.

Cheers,
Em

Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to let you know I'm still in Hungary. My grandma's still in the hospital and not doing well.

The longest I could extend my ticket from London to Jamaica is the 13th so I fly out of Budapest on the 12th and end up in MoBay on the 14th.
