Whale Watching, Goodbye Filipino Friends, flying back to Ohio, Welcome to Ohio

Welcome Back to Ohio

I got to Ohio but my luggage was stuck in Cali. thankfully they found my luggage and it was returned to me on the 30th in the evening. very quick and satisfied with how it was handled. my first ever glitch flying. Guess it was my time:) my mom, dad, daniel, friend caroline and joan, and roommate brooke met me at the airport at 6am..those are friends and family. because the airport is 1 1/2 hours away:)
