Julius - 29th August 2012

On the first day we landed in Los Angeles. A shuttle bus took us to a hotel called super 8. As soon as we got there we went swimming. A bit after we went to the hotel to put our stuff in. then we caught another bus to a really big shopping center was no K-mart no target no Coles no Woolworths. Instead they have Macey’s, Wal-Mart and other things I forget. That night we ate delicious Greek food and went to bed.

Getting to America

On August 29th at 11 am we boarded flight VA007. Finely we were on our way to L.A. On the plane I wached the Lorax, Beetlejiuce and a bit of the pirates. After that I went to sleep for a hour. We had dinner a midnight snak and brekfist.We were on the plane for 13 and a half hours. When we arived it was 7 am. We had traviled back in time. When we got to the hotel we went swimming. Then we went shoping and brot ice-cream. Then we went swimming again. Then we all had a nap. After we went to a restront and ate the most delicious Greek food. Then we all went to sleep.

2 Days to Go

Our bags are nearly packed and Monique is happy with the embellishments I have included on hers - she wanted a pretty bag and I didn't want to spend an extra $50 when I could meet her wishes for less than $5.

The countdown began back in March with 149 days to go. Since then Monique has been diligently crossing each day off my uni planner. I can hardly believe we have only 2 days until we head to the Sunshine state and 6 sleeps until the plane ride to LA. For now, that plane ride is sounding very exciting, we will see how we feel about it at the other end. The funny thing about it is that we leave Brisbane at 11am on the 29th August and arrive at 7am on the 29th August. It is kind of like it doesn't really happen at all - figure that one out!! See you in LA :)

America

This is our pass ports and the map of the U.S.A. We're so exited.
