Day 8 - Leaving for home

After a long, spectacular break, it was time to head home to the states.  It was a really bittersweet experience, as many of us were ready to go back home, but others just wanted to stay in Belize forever.  I'd have to say I was somewhere in between because the experience was so surreal.

We were at the San Pedro airport by 9 to head out on the puddle jumper.  After getting to Belize City around 9:30, we got some food and sat around for an hour and a half waiting for our flight to Atlanta.

In Atlanta, we had a 3 hour lay-over before heading off to Des Moines, where we were finally home.

If I can say ANYTHING with 100% certainty relating to this trip, it's that I will NEVER forget the experiences I had.  In just this past week I have grown up so much and changed a lot as a person.  This trip will definitely help me as a future educator.  It also helped me with my relationships with the people that were with me, especially the professors.  I know I can go to them for professional advice and with all my high goals, I'm going to need them.

Goodbye Belize.  I hope I'll be back soon.
