After a horrid 14 hour flight (with no tvs) we have finally got into LA. Only to have to slug it through customs and board a safe plane (note pic 1). Arriving at customs I walked up with j, j and s to the custom desk only to be told "Get back in line ma'am, family only". I had to wait in line on my own. Finally I was able to go up to the custom desk where Julianna was told to "keep walking" (which she refused to do :). The guy was really passive aggressive and a few times 'casually' adjusted his gun on his belt while I gave my finger prints.
Once we arrived in LA we had to Go through the process again and juliet, Sara, and I were 'randomly selected' to have a machine x-ray through our clothes (lucky us). And Julianna's bag was X-rayed over and over. (in other words a lot of fun)
Anywho, we met a nice girl on the sydney to LA flight who had 100 Nintendo games (no joke :-/) who was fun to talk with (we're soon to be Facebook & Skype friends with). I also had a drink spilt on me within the first hour of the flight, but luckily i had a change of clothes and three different blankets. I then watched most of 'the cat returns' with Juliet and played a good hour of 'nyan cat' on the iPad.
On the plane I had my first (and hopefully my last) drink of canned apple juice. It wasn't exactly sparkling or flat, it just was. It boasted being 100% apples, but I'm pretty sure there must have been some invisible small print I didn't see.
Currently I am on a plane going to Albuquerque. Im separated from the group and have been reading a magazine trying to sell me really random (and often useless) stuff, eg Jewish decorations for the Christmas tree (identity crisis much?)
