I'm Finally Coming HOME!!!

Thanks to my super travel agent, Mom, we worked out a plan so that Farley and I can get home on the 19th of December and be able to stay at home until the 9th of January! It is so exciting, as the flights appeared to be all booked and we thought we were not going to get home until Christmas Eve (and LATE at that) and we were going to have to leave home on the 3rd of January to get back to the island. The only way we could get a flight so late in January was if we fly ouy of Miami on January 10th for Barbados, stay overnight then go onto Dominica on the 11th. Farley and I will have to keep a stiff upper lip during our 23 hour stay in Barbados. We start classes on the 12th so we will make it back just in time.

Besides being unable to get flights off the island easily (we started working on this in JUNE) the most astounding thing is that the flights are so expensive. For example, Farley and I could have gone to Paris or Rome for two weeks (air and hotel but excluding food) for cheaper than it cost me to get home. That is crazy! It is a good thing we didn't look into that before we booked our flights home because ....well, that is how we ended up in Argentina. I'm so excited to get to see everyone, but I will sure miss my Farley. Farley and I haven't been apart for more than 8-12 hours since last December; it is going to be strange not to see him for three weeks!
