YORK 07: On our way home!!!!

Glad that I'm at home at last (listen to the song I have put as my blog's soundtrack). Actually, that we are all at home safe and sound!!!!


Our flight:  

MANCHESTER - MALAGA   19:55/23:55  14/04/2019

Good morning, families! Here we are in York on our last day. It's a bit chilly today, but still dry, cloudy with some sunny spells. 

We have spent the whole morning doing the packing and preparing for our departure. Some of us even had a delicious brunch (the typical English breakfast, but later in the morning).

Then our host families took us to the meeting point by 3 p.m. We said goodbye to our host families and York Tutors staff and got on the coach, whose driver had some kind of connection with Spain and could speak perfect Spanish. We had plenty of time at the airport to go to the toilet, drink something and do the check in. We had some problems at the control because we committed some mistakes carrying liquids or other things that are not allowed in our hand luggage and that we had forgotten to put into our suitcases.

Then we had to wait at the departure lounge to see which gate we had to go to, so we had time to buy some water and do our last shoppings.

Our flight was delayed a bit, but we had no real problems, although it was completely full. We arrived at Malaga airport at about midnight with a nice temperature of 18 degrees Celsius and we had no problems with our luggage, so at half past we were already on the coach to get to our final destination: HOME. SWEET HOME!!!!

We arrived at about 2 a.m. and all the families were so finally to see their children back home again. What an adventure!!!

I will shortly be posting my final entry related to our VII Study trip to the British-Irish Isles, York 2019 with the teachers' report and other matters.

Thanks to all the staff at York Tutors School staff and to all the host families and to the Yorkers, in general, for making our stay in your wonderful town and area so special.
