Tomorrow is February 26, and we are leaving for the U.K. Today was our day to pack. At 8 am, Sal and I ate breakfast sandwiches and then went upstairs to pack at 9 am.

"Sal, where is the suitcase I had when I moved in here? I need to put my stuff in it" I said.

"It got ruined. Sorry. I gave it to Q since he had extra space, but his stupid cats ripped it up" Sal said.

"Ugh. Do you have an extra one?" I asked.

"Of course. Let me get it" Sal said.

He went into his closet and got an extra suitcase. It was way bigger than the one I used to have. It was also way fancier.

I folded a bunch of t-shirts and pants, I put some shoes in a plastic bag, and I folded two dresses extra neatly. I threw all the stuff into the suitcase without even looking. Then, I packed some travel toiletries that Sal gave me. I finally zipped up the bag and put it at the front door.

By the time I was done packing, it was 12 pm. It took me long because it was hard to fold things with my cast. Sal took a few extra minutes to pack. He needed to fold everything perfectly.

We met at the living room and sat on the couch.

"How did packing go for you?" I asked Sal.

"Pretty well. How about you?" Sal said.

"Fine, I guess. Why did you tell me to pack more than I needed?" I said.

"It's a surprise" Sal said.

"I think I know what it is. Joe talks a little too much. You guys are staying there for another week to film?" I said.

"Maybe" Sal said, meaning that they were filming episodes in England.

The next morning, I heard Sal's alarm ring from his room at 3 am. We had to be at JFK Airport by 5 am. Our flight leaves at 8 am. I threw on my t-shirt that says London on it and skinny jeans with sneakers.

We left the house and saw Q waiting for us outside in a taxi. He put our suitcases in the trunk and sat back in the front seat.

We got to JFK a few minutes past 4 am, and walked in with our suitcases. We did all of the security checks, took pictures with a few fans and workers, and then got coffees after all of the frenzy. After we finished our coffees, we sat by the terminal. I sat in the middle of Sal and Q. We all had backpacks with us to go on the plane with.

Q boarded the plane first. He bought himself a first class ticket. Then, Sal and I boarded into coach.

"Where are Joe and Murray?" I asked, sitting in the aisle seat.

"They're on another flight. This plane didn't have enough seats for everyone" Sal explained, sitting down on the window seat.

The flight consisted of eight hours of watching dumb movies, listening to music, and eating snacks. Eventually, we landed in London.

We landed in London at 9 pm. Q got us a cab to get to the hotel. We all got to the hotel at around 10 pm. Sal and I shared a room. Q and Murray were sharing a room. Joe, Bessy, and Milana all were in the same room.

Once we all settled in, I grabbed my pajamas at the top of the suitcase and changed. I fell asleep quickly since it was a long day.

The next morning, I woke up with Sal in the other bed, playing on his phone. I checked the time on my phone. It was 11 am.

"Hey" I said. I sounded tired.

"Oh, hey. Good morning" Sal said.

"Where are the guys?" I asked.

"They're down at breakfast. I waited for you to wake up. Let's go" he said.

I got dressed in a graphic t-shirt and black skinny jeans. I was going to change for the show into something much nicer.

We all ate breakfast, even Milana. After breakfast, we all went to our rooms. We heard a knock at our door, and I went to open it.

"Can you guys watch Milana for a little bit? Bessy and I want to go around London a little bit" Joe said.

"We want to go out too" Sal said.

"Okay. You guys come with us and I'll ask Q to watch her. He doesn't want to go out" Joe said.

Sal and I walked out of the hotel with Joe, Murr, and Bessy. We went to some museums, restaurants, and sight seeing. We saw so many fans in the U.K.

We got back to the hotel at 4 pm to get ready for the show. We had to be at the theater in an hour. Good thing it's not too far.

I decided to ditch the dress I was going to wear today. It was too uncomfortable for just a show. I just put on an IJ t-shirt (that I made a crop top) and a black skater skirt. Sal and the guys dressed nicer than usual since they thought it was a very special show.

We all went into a special bus that Joe called to pick us up. It was like their tour bus, but without their faces on it.

We got to the theater in about ten minutes. They did microphone checks. I jumped off of the stage to go sit in the audience. My seat was in the aisle in the second row.

The show was just like Radio City, except funnier. They made jokes about England, tried to do English accents, and they even danced a little bit.

When the show was over, it was meet and greet time. I stayed in my seat, until Sal called me to come with the guys.

The U.K. fans were amazing. So sweet. Some of them even tutored me in British accents. They all knew who I was somehow.

Then, it was time for the next show. It was the same as the first one, and to be honest, I was bored and tired. I watched and laughed along anyways, and then met the second batch of fans. They were also really nice.

First of all, I want to thank you guys for reading. I just want to let you know that I have a new book out! Go check it out!
