well hello there!! well here we are in LA..and to all of you who just read about the big earthquake, tsunami vulcano thing i fiji..I didn't even notice it... we flew out late last night and everything was ok then.. but it is scary how all these things keep happening nearby..fires, floods and cyclones in australia, and now volcanoes, earthquakes and tsuanmi alert in fiji..scary scary.. but we seem to be at the best places in just the right time.
anyway..10 hour flight to the states. we were prepared to open all our luggage and really have the customs scheck us, and we thought we would be body scanned and everything, but they just took our fingerprints and made us fill out a couple of forms..no big deal.
our hostel is located in Venice, about 15 minutes from the Venice Beach. we got here and checked in and got a 4 bed dorm instead of a 30 bed dorm. so we are not complaining!!!hahaha!! we are staying in LA until sunday night when we are taking the nightbus up to Las Vegas. by taking the night bus we are saving a nights accomodation. and that is good for our bank accounts! then we have 3 nights in Vegas before we take another nightbus to San Francisco..we are not sure how long we are staying there we just now that we have a flight from LA to Miami April 4th. we might rent a car and drive it back down to LA or we might take a bus or a train.
After a week in Fiji we are a bit more tanned but not enough at all. our 8n days turned out to be 1 without any rain, 2 with bright sun and some rain, 2 with pooooring rain and 3 with some rain some sun and a lot of clouds. som the weather was not at all optimal. the worst was that the two days it poored down is the two days we had at a beautiful island resort called manta ray. but with so much rain we got to play a lot of cards and do a lot of reading.
the three days we had in Nadi before we flew over to USA was alright. alot of relaxation and just hanging at the hotel. Nadi was not a vaery big city and not a safe city at night so we stayed mostly in the hotel. they had a small cinema, 3 bars, 2 pools and 2 restaurants. so we were alright.
so far I have seen a really small part of LA and it looks..hmm..dirty? not clean and kind of gray. but thatt is a judgement made from just the 5 blocks from our hostel and to the supermarked. I think we spent like an hour in the supermarked trying to think and plan meals ahead for three days and just finding stuff. but it is nice to cook meals for ourselves again. I know it saounds kind ogf bad when I say it, but you do get BORED of restaurants and their menues...oh well..my time is up now..1 dollar for 10 minutes..way to expensive for internet! talk to tyou all later!!
