Freed Essex carer Marianne Telfer is looking forward to coming home tomorrow.
She told how the four Caribbean prisons she was held in before being cleared of drug trafficking charges ranged from "basic" to "utterly disgusting".
Miss Telfer, 28, had always protested her innocence, but was charged after her boyfriend Richard Flack, 34, of Colchester, died as they were preparing to come home.
He had swallowed condoms filled with cocaine which had split in his stomach.
A court in the Dominican Republic finally cleared Miss Telfer on Thursday after a panel of five judges accepted she knew nothing about the drugs.
Since her release she has been relaxing with her parents Roger and Sheila in a hotel while they wait for the first available flight back to the UK.
They are hoping to fly into Gatwick Airport at about 10am tomorrow.
