merry christmas and a happy new year. I made it back to the olde states of america, but not without problems. I had to pay extra for the large bags I had, which were all the presents I was giving all the people i know. the flights were fine, no problems there. When i got to my final destination, only one bag came in and i had to file a report and find out where my bags were. So my family picked me up and I was home, it was wierd. The next day they came over with my misplaced bags, which had come in on a later flight. This was sunday the 19th now. Me and Meaghan decided to go back to richmond that night because she had to work on monday, so we headed out at around 830 pm and it was snowing and slippery. We were on 95 going south when meaghan slipped a little on the road so we pulled over to the sholder and put on the flashers. Then someone in a Isuzu trooper plowed in the back of us, bazam! Meaghan was crying and i was trying to figure out if everything was ok. She ended up getting ten staples in her head and a concusion and whip lash. i had a little whiplash and thats about it. So thats fun. And then the next day I was feeling sick from some thing i had caught in thailand, and i got worse. I had high feaver and all the nasty things like the flu, but it wasnt the flu. I went to the doctors and they think i have malaria, so im waiting to hear back from my blood test to see what ive got exactly. So yeah comming back hasnt been the best experience but im slowly getting used to the swing of things again.
