August 27th

We got to the airport in Chennai rather early, and ended up taking off at 5:30 am. Our flight to London was only nine hours, and we got upgraded so that we could sit together. In the London airport we found out that our flight to New York (JFK) had been cancelled due to Hurricane Irene. Fortunately for us, we were rerouted to Dallas (DFW), and our plane actually departed a few minutes before our previous flight was supposed to leave. In the London airport we had a three hour layover, and we at a place called Yo! Sushi. Its a sushi bar where the sushi comes around on a track and you just grap whatever looks good to you. When you are done eating, the waiter comes and counts up your bowls and gives you the bill. The plane trip to Dallas was ten hours, and we were in a very cramped airplane. It was the pilot's last fight, as he was retiring after 32 years of working for the airline. At the landing strip, there were two fire engines that gave him an awesome salute by shooting water over the top of the plane. We then took a flight from Dallas to SLC, which was only 2 hours and 22 minutes long. Our luggage was lost in Dallas, and they expected it to come the next day, which it did. My grandparents on my mom's side came and picked us up. once home, I treated my hair for lice (even though you dont have lice, it is strongly recommended that you treat your hair, just in case), and then went to bed at around 2 am.
