Soulmates

Up early and on the bus to the airport, we were both a bit tired. We made it through security in a breeze and sat down for some breakfast before boarding our 9+ hour flight back to Charlotte. 

There was plenty of room on the flight and the seats were quite spacious.  We decided the best way to stay awake was to watch movies the whole way home. We made it through Pitch Perfect 2 (not as good as the first but entertaining), Indefintley Polar Bear (solid Mark Ruffalo flick worth checking out), Ant Man (a decent intro for the character), Magic Mike XXL (exactly what you'd expect... great, but awkward on a plane) and the first 30 minutes or so of Ted 2. All around great entertainment for the trip. 

As you may have seen we have been taking pictures with Coke cans throughout the trip. On the flight I ordered a Diet Coke with lunch and on the name on side (I swear) was Soulmates. We couldn't believe the luck and it would be the perfect picture for the last leg of this journey.  Of course, I had to mess that up and threw the can away in the trash to clear up room on the tiny traytable. The below was the best I could do to make up for my mistake. Can't apologize enough for that Asha. 

We made landfall in New Foundland and slowly made our way down the coast. The sky was perfectly clear and it was good to see the continent. As we continued south the Captain announced that we were near NYC. We opened up the window blind and were treated to an unbelievable view of the city. Seeing it pass by our window was a realization that for the first time we wouldn't be going home there. We held our gaze on the beautiful madness below until it dissaperead in the distance. 

We landed in Charlotte and our friend Cassie was kind enough to pick us up. She and Sean were hosting us for the night before we would make the trek back to SC on Thursday morning. 

It is difficult to sum up the journey that we experienced over the last two months. We had traveled for 59 days, been to 9 countries and seen a lot more cities. Through all of that Ashley was by far and away the most beautiful thing I saw. Can't wait to plan the next adventure, whatever it may be. 

That Diet Coke can had it right for sure.
