Phi picked us at the station and we headed to my aunt's straight away. This is the gathering place where eventually all my relatives would arrive. Right away we were served food. And then the barbeque started and then the food became endless. We tried our very best to eat as much as we can and everything was so delicious! I wish I could've ate more. I even wore my loose clothes. After everyone's arrived, we did some photos in the backyard. There was quite a bit of people and it took quite a while. Everyone had their smart phones out and I had my ipad.
After the photos, we said our goodbyes. I think Neil might have received some thinly veiled threats to take care of me. We stopped by to visit my uncle Sing's grave before the train station. It had been seven years since my first time in Liverpool.
When we got back to the house, we quickly packed up our stuff and set off to Manchester airport where we had a room booked. This way we could get to the airport quickly in the morning to catch our 9:20am flight. Both Neil and I fell asleep in the car ride to Manchester. It was dark by the time we arrived. Neil's parents have been so sweet and amazing this whole trip, we couldn't thank them enough.
We stayed at the Crowne Plaza and for some reason we got a handicap room. The washroom was massive! The sink was low but for some reason, the toilet is very high. They also added an extra cot in our room. We requested a 5am wake up call and tried to get as much sleep as we can before our long journey.
