Baltimore National Aquarium

This was my last weekend (21st - 23rd Oct) of being free on this trip before I got busy with work and headed home in a couple of weeks' time - so I decided to spend time with my family friend - Gayle. My mother always told me about Baltimore National Aquarium, so I went and treated Gayle as a thank-you for looking after me on this trip.



When I walked into the Aquarium - I wasn't expecting this at all. It had the most beautiful mini waterful with fishies in it! It felt so cool and I felt like I was somewhere else in the world with this!


When we walked into the building - the first thing they had was the family photo booth - so Gayle and I have some amazing hilarious photos to keep as memories!

Here's a couple 😁🤣


With Turtles
With Puffins















I personally love the photo with all the cute Puffins!!
Then we went into the aquarium and saw all kinds of fishes;


I could not believe how big the aquarium was when I walked inside! Made me wonder how they designed the place to make sure it was all secured with no water leaking as it goes right up to the 5th floor of the building. Each floor has specific species of fish - such as jellyfish, sharks, rainforest animals, snakes, etc. It goes on!



This had to be the best day of the trip also! Because I found it so relaxing going through all the tanks!

On our way out, we found a caiman alligator! I could not believe it was there, we walked past it and I was like something there and it was the alligator!

On the way out - I stopped by the Aquarium shop and got myself an ornament for my Xmas tree as I have a thing about it. My Xmas tree will be full of travel ornaments with dates written on the back of them!

Then finally, on our way out to Towson, we stopped by a nice little place called Life in Charm City where I wanted to get an ornament again along with a Baltimore sweatshirt. So Gayle and I took some photos facing the Aquarium because I wanted to cherish that memory forever!

Travelling DaY

On 11th August, I left the UK for the biggest trip of my life to the USA - this is a huge step in my life because this time I am travelling on my own for two and half months. I know that I had to do this by myself someday and it's here! I arrived at Edinburgh Airport (EDI) at 10:30am, checked my suitcase and said 'See you later' to my amazing parents who made me cry at the airport! Thanks, Mum! (Love you!)😂 I am going to be missing my family so much including my wee baby cocker spaniel! 💕 I won't be returning home till the end of October. Whilst I was waiting at the airport, there were many changes about what was happening with the flight and gate. My flight was due at 12:30pm but with all the delays and gate changes, it was changed to 15:40pm but it came earlier than expected - so I stayed nearby where United Airlines originally boarded so that I didn't miss the flight. I was getting a little bit nervous, so there was this lovely lady who helped me to make sure t...

Made it back home!

Made It Home!!! I am officially back home with my family, all unpacked - it was like the living room exploded with all of my things. But wanna laugh... my suitcase was full of books instead of bringing clothes home! I was so emotional when I got home as I wanted to be home after a couple of days of being at multiple airports. So lovely to be back in my own bed too! Even had a quiet, shy reaction from my dog as she wasn't sure who I was until I spoke to her again!

Day 5: Finally Settled In!

Image
Had my first night sleeping in my permanent apartment - the apartment is very nice, cosy and clean. First-night sleeping was a little bit scary as I'd come out of a home where I usually stay with someone - This time I was so scared because I thought something would happen when I was sleeping but it was okay apart from getting freighted by a siren of some vehicle. I will keep you all posted on how I am doing 👍😊 Huge thank you to Krista and her friend Martin for helping me settle in with all of my bags and food shopping (They call it groceries in America) as I would have not done this without you! 😊 When we stopped by the apartment I could not believe that I have got the most beautiful cathedral right across from me on the corner. And I was told that there is the Washington Monument right around the corner from my street again which is known as the centrepiece of Mount Vernon! (Pictures coming soon). Krista and Martin had to leave, both were working and kindly had a break to hel...
