Traveling Mercies

So 34 hours of traveling can sure get ya exhausted! So like I said I left my house at 4am. And that night I had gotten maybe an hour of solid sleep. And 90% of the time I can't sleep when i travel so I was rather dead while traveling this time. My first flight flew out of harrisburg but praise The Lord I did not have to go by myself. I met up with 4 others at the harrisburg airport. During the first flight I sat next to a liberal mennonite lady that had been a teacher in Indonesia for a long time so we got to talk about Asia and stuff which was really cool! Then I had a 3 hour layover in Atlanta Georgia and a 3 hour flight to tuscan Arizona. *sidenote* it's is sooooo incredible AWESOME to be in this day and age were we can fly. I mean we get to see a birds eye view of stuff!!! We take that for granted to much in my opinion. :) 
We arrived in Tuscan at 12:30 and our bus didn't leave till 8. So we wondered around Tuscan killing time. Tuscan is basically Mexico in America. Ok heart attack time. So around 6:30 I was just chilling in the bus station and I decieded to check out my passport and see what a horrible pic it was of me n stuff. Well I just happened to glance at the expiration date. July 18 2015. :O I about flipped. I was gonna come home July 24th but if I had never looked at the bus station who knows what might have happened when I tried to get back into the country with an expired passport. We were a little worried if they would grant me a 6 months visa at the border since my passport expires in less than 6 months but praise The Lord they didn't say a word. Our bus got there at 8 and we loaded up. It was a really nice bus except for the the annoying loud video they had playing. I got to sit next to an old guy. Yay! #sarcasm. Ok here is 2 stories that you can laugh at. So I'm there sleeping and it's like the middle of the night and I suddenly wake up and am discombobulated and for some reason my arm reaches out and grabs the old dudes head!! GAH I immediately was like what am I doing and pretend like I'm sleeping as he kinda wakes up and looks around. #EMBARRASING!!! Then I wake a little later and I had to go to the bathroom and I had the window seat. I was to shy to wake this guy and try to explain im Spanish that id like out so I waited like 2 hours till he woke up a little and I then I got him to move. But then I locked myself in the bathroom so I should have just stayed in my seat. It took me like 5 min to figure out how to open the stupid bathroom door. I kinda panicked a little. 
Our bus arrived at Los Mochis at 7:30 and we got to freshen up! Yay! But then our two guys and the girl who spoke the best Spanish when to the airport to get the rental car. They said it should take maybe and hour 20 at the most. So Vanessa and I stayed at the bus station and waited. Two and a half hour later they showed up. A lot of crazy scenerios can run through your head in that time. Omw so the car thy have them was just a little bit bigger than my bug and we had to get 5 big suitcases in it. And six carry ons! Oh and us too. Let's just say we were a tad squished for the 2 hour ride to choix. It felt so good to get out of car when we reached choix! I instately went rather shy when I say all the new people n I was tired so that makes for quite a personality switch on me. But I actually ended up knowing quite a few people so it was a blast seeing them again. So wa so I'm here. I'm safe. And I'm tired. Praise The Lord. ;)
