1st day. Trip.

I can't believe I couldn't find Wifi anywhere until now, that I'm at home with the host family.

The first day of my month in Virginia Beach started early, at 7am, because I had to be at the airport at 8.40am. I was really nervous and excited, but more nervous. My suitcase wasn't closing and I didn't know what to do, until I could finally do it.

At the Barcelona airport there were 20 people, counting me, who were going to Virginia Beach. We had to wait a long time until we got into the plane, which took off at 11.40am. We arrived to the London airport at 1pm, and we had to change our watches, because in London it's an hour before than in Spain.

We only had an hour and a half in London, the plane to Washington DC was taking off at 2.25pm. I had already had time to know everyone for then. We were only 20 people, so we talked a lot.

But that was the long flight. Almost 8 hours (less than what we thought they would be). We were lucky to have like small TVs in the plane, one screen each, so we could see films and series, and listen to music... We also tried to sleep for a while, but didn't work. When we arrived at the airport, we were all really tired, and all we wanted to do is sleep. We had to change our watches again. It's 6 hours ahead in Spain than here.

After several controls (they're really estrict to get into the USA), we got our luggage and took a bus to the hotel where we were going to spend the night. Before going to sleep, we went to the McDonald's to have something for dinner. And that was my first day.
