New York, Connecticut and MINNESOTA!

Hey guys,
I finally make it back to the desk to update about my new adventure that just started!

So, monday afternoon, my parents and Daniel and Sebastian brought me to the airport in Frankfurt where I met with some other AuPair girls, to check into our flight to NEw York.
After getting my bags checked I left the other girls again and we went for a coffee at Starbucks (where else ;) ).
When it was time for me to go through security I really didn't want to leave, but at the same time I was so excited, that I finally was on my way.
I met with the other girls again and even got to sit with one of them on the flight.

The flight was pretty quiet and I got to sleep a little bit at least.

After 8 hours in the air, we finally landed in New York City and met with a bunch of other girls and were taken to our hotel in Stamford, Connecticut.

There we had a 4 day orientation. Learning about childcare, american culture and so on. So nothing really new to me, but I enjoyed meeting the other girls, and even got to talk to them about my first AuPAir-experience 6 years back.

Thursday afternoon we were put on a bus to the airport again and a swedish girl (anna) and I took a plane to Milwaukee, WI and then one to Minnesota from there.
Let me tell you, I can not remember being this tired in a long time. My eyes hurt and I just wanted to finally meet my hostfamily.

We got to the airport in Minneapolis about 9 hours after leaving the hotel....!

I recognized my hostmom right away. She brought some baloons for me and gave me a big hug. It was just like I had expected it to be, as if we had been friends for a long time already. Well, we started talking in January, so it is kinda true. :)

We went home and after looking around the house for a wee while, I finally put my head down to sleep in my new bed!!! It felt sooo god! :-)

I felt so at home the first moment I entered the house, I can't discribe it. It is just amazing!

I will tell you a little more about my first day here later. Right now I am tired and can't wait to take a shower and get to bed.

Big hug to my friends in Germany, I will miss you!!!
