Hi Everyone!! I'm finally in Australia. Josh & I arrived here early this mornig [june 21st] around 8 and got picked up by Claire and her mom. Melbourne is BEAUTIFUL! Oh my gosh. I sat in the car at just wonder of how pretty it was, not to mention the steering wheel for the car was on the other side too. AHAHAH Amazing - basically. The plane ride over here was quite amusing. We left Phoenix Airport around 5ish cause the plane was running a bit late then we got into LAX around 6. When we got to LA it was sort of frustrating because we didnt get dropped off at the right place through the shuttle so we walked alot & the bus driver was not nice. LA people never smile, it was ridiculous, but when the time came to get bags checked and sent to the airplane it was alot easier than Josh or I expected. That was a prayer answered in itself. But we had atleast 4 hrs to kill sitting at LA airport waiting for our plane because it didnt leave till 11:40 that night... We ended up eating dinner - amazing mexican tacos, just the right way to leave america - MEXICAN STYLE! hahaha At LAX waiting we met the coolest old couple that from Melbourne so we got to talking to them for awhile and it was really cool just talking and hearing what they had to say. Amazing - nice people = THE BEST! Then finally we left for our plane, got checked in - all that jazz, went to the plane and relaxed. hahah it was so cool cause each individual chair had its own tv and the tv had anything from video games to movies, to radio stations, to television shows. it was so amazing... That was fun. We slept alot of the way, but there were some mis haps because of these dumb OLD rude people infront of us. They were leaning there chair back as far as it could go and then when we would move or budge to change positions they got all pissed and freaked out. Actually, it was funny cause we didnt care, so other than that, the airplane flight over was incredible. It was still hard to believe even when we were stepping outside of the gates seeing everyone... HEARING EVERYONE... :] But it really clicked that we were actually in australia when We saw Claire and her Mum and went to the car. woahhh the weather is beautiful. The trees are amazing EVERYTHING IS SUPER. Alright well 1:30 and im waisting daylight, so im going to go eat lunch and see whats instore...
