I leave in 12 hours, talk about butterflies in your stomach, I feel sick.

The last few days I have spent packing up my things, I have decided to take with me; almost my whole wardrobe, some decor from my bedroom to put in my new room, some of my favourite bits and pieces from around the house, my jewellery, all of my make up, which could use a whole suitcase its self, whoops, special photo albums I had made, and the smaller parts from my setup, I know I will have to buy monitors and a desk and stuff but I like what I have, so I will take as much as I can get away with, with me.
I have had to package and ship a lot of my stuff as it won't fit on the plane with me so hopefully it arrives not too long after I do, I did put it as express shipping but to be honest, the Australian Post is pretty terrible, they are incredibly and unbelievably slow.
I also did a bit of shopping for things to take to America, I bought little presents for the boys, I refilled my favourite products, and I also bought some of my favourite Australian foods to take with me for when I get home sick, mainly Vegemite, Tim-Tams, Musk sticks and Allens Lollies, plus a whole bunch of smaller items which I thought would be fun for the boys to try in a video later on, once I get to know them.

I have made all the videos I wanted to make before I left, I have made about 7 videos prepared and edited, waiting for release.
I have started to Intro my departure Vlog as I want to capture this whole day from start to finish. I know I have got a busy few days ahead of me, starting with a good bye dinner.

Dinner was great, my family and friends were all there to have a final laugh with me before I had to leave, they also gave me a few presents to take with me, one including an Australian flag so I didn't "forget where I originated from", thanks dad, I probably would have forgotten.

Driving to Sydney airport takes about 2 hours, lucky my family came with me, I was too nervous to be left alone, I probably wouldn't have gotten on the plane in all honesty.
Don't get me wrong, I'm over the moon to be leaving, it's just the fear of not being accepted I guess, the guys are all so close and I don't want to feel like I'm intruding or not wanted I guess, time will tell.

The farewell was emotional, we all cried and I awkwardly vlogged it, naturally. It was pretty cinematic and a little bit cringy. But after I bravely got on the plane and prepared for this 24 hour and 55 minute trip, no I'm not joking, I have one layover in Fiji but the rest is in the air.
When I told Tommy about how long my trip was going to be he couldn't believe it. Technically it was longer because I had to drive 2 hours to the airport, wait an hour for departure, fly 25 hours to America, and then drive to the house.
I don't travel well to begin with which make the whole situation greattttttt.
Most people say drinking helps calm your nerves, which I most certainly had. Currently it felt as if my stomach was going to explode but also because I'm travelling to America where the drinking age is 21 and not 18 I can't drink and stupid me forgot about this legislation in my preparation stages and didn't buy tablets of some sort to help with these ever so slightly built up nerves.

During my flight I mostly slept and watched "The 100", which is a great Tv show. I also ate a lot of lollies because the sugar rush was as lit as I was going to get being 30,000 ft in the air. I texted Tommy to ensure he would be there to pick me up and help me navigate as I'd be wandering around like a lost puppy if I didn't have help to find my bearings, plus I know I'm going to be exhausted and time will only tell when the jet lag hits me. This is the longest distance I have travelled by far and with my track record I was expecting the worst jet lag known to man.

Texting Tommy
Hayley - "Hey Tommy, my plane lands at 10:30am, you still going to be there or should I look out for a super cute uber driver?"
Tommy - "Maybe a man with a nice personality in his 60s"
Tommy - "Just kidding, like fuck I would leave you stranded at the airport, you are one of us now, I will for sure be there"
Hayley - "Hahaha Thankyou so much"
Tommy - "Its my pleasure, you are going to have such bad jet lag, I will pray for you"
Hayley - "Oh my gosh I know, I'm going to sleep for a week"
Tommy - "You should try and sleep as much as you can now, you have a very big day ahead haha, prepare yourself to be bombarded with people and questions and cameras, lol"
Hayley - "Yeah you are right, and thanks for helping calm my nerves, kidding!"
Tommy - "Sorry about that haha, text me when you land!"
Hayley - "I will"
