Plane Trip and First Stop

USA | Tuesday, 19 August 2008 | Views [453] | Comments [7]

Well firstly wanna let you all no i arrived safely, but completely sick of plpanes....and its onlythe begining, oh god.
So plane ride was actually awesome and i think i was the luckest person ever. Flight from Aust to NZ, not so good, was stuck sitting next to an asian who well smelt a little and really wasnt a happy camper. Flight went quick tho.... found my way around NZ airport easy as, got on next flight to L.A and i was sitting in a 3 seater row, the plane was fillin up and well few empty seats here and there, next thing they said plane door was closing and you o what i had NO-ONE next to me on any of the 2 seats so i had a whole row to myself.... better then 1st class cause i could really lay right across it all. So yes had an awesome flight to LA and i would sit next to a smelly asain for 2 hrs to have a 3 seater for a 13 hr flight any day... i was a happy happy girl.
LA well i arrived there lunch time so it was so crazy, worst then last time,  thought i was going to miss my next flight to Bosie, oh man people were crazy everywhere, and they were sending me up stairs downs stairs up agan down again.... oh and that tall guy from Melb that i said i bet he is going to LA i was right and we got talkin to atleast around LA we were both together and tried working things out that way... so after catching a bus from one side of LAX to the other and finally getting tho all the security i made it to my gate, waited about 20 min then borred.
Got to Bosie and Matt was there to pick me up, great to see him, hasnt changed... we met Avis out for dinner at the Aussie out back, and she was so shocked to see me she screamed and cryed and cry and cryed... was a good catch up tho and she cant believe i actually came back. Got home late and stayed up talking for a bit then wen to bed.
Today I caught up with family again, everyone asked if i wasa happy to b home, hehehe, had a fun day with michelle and her 2 boys, they are so cute, 3 and 1 yrs old... had dinner with all family too.  the average temp is about 40 degrees every day.... HOTTTTTT
Ok its late and i cant really type with these long nails on, so till next time love ya's all and miss you
Love Always
Mel

Hi Mel,
Sorry I haven't called. I was going to call today (Wednesday in Aust) but our phone at home is not working and wont be fixed until tomorrow. A bit of a s#*@ but not to worry. It just means that it will be extra quiet. I bet Michelle was surprised to see you. I wish I was there to see Avis' face when she walked in. Can you send about 10 of those temperature degree's to us here please. Say hello to everyone for us. And write again soon. Have fun.
Love dad & mum (mom)

Hi Missa,
Hope your having a great time catching up with everyone, you all probably haven't stopped talking.
Sounds like you had a fun flight next to smelly for a bit but thats cool that you could spread out and hopefully sleep. We all miss ya, especially at work. I reckon i've chewed Alicia and Lindas ears off, there probably sick of me talking.
You can keep that heat over there we don't want it, but a couple of degrees would be ok.
well be good and have fun. Talk soon
Lots of love Aunty Di, Alex and Oma xxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi mel how exciting that we now have a new blog to read and share in someone elses overseas adventures. You know you have a lot to live up to cos jess writes so much, we expect the same from you lol. LAX is such a scary airport when you are by yourself.I found that out when i travelled there by myself 17 years ago to meet steve who had already been there for 2 weeks on business and whose connecting flight to meet me was very late and i had noway of finding out where he was. Airport staff were not very helpful either
Glad you are having a good time it must feel like a home away from home. The macbackpackers trip sounds like fun and a great way to see a bit of scotland with jess, dan and amy.
Looking forward to more blog love mandy, steve, luke and bec xxxxoooooo

Hey Mel, Great to hear all about your travels....we miss your little 'travels' down to the Kinder room to visit us...its a bit boring without you at work.
All the children keep saying 'if Mel won't be back until we are school kids when will we see her', they miss you lots...life here goes on as normal,
Keep Safe and have a ball, Linda
