So I've finally arrived. I'm up in Norwalk, Connecticut at the moment, chilling at my friend Lukas' house, who picked me up from the airport last night. It's about an hour drive from NYC itself, in one of those areas that is just... well it's green. Lots of trees and nature and you're typical american houses. I'll post some photos tomorrow. Quick recap of the trip over and the things I've learnt:
- LAX is one giant clusterf**k. Plane was late getting in so I missed my connecting flight(along with about 40 other people). Took about 45 minutes to clear customs and once I did that, the bags weren't even on the carousel. Once I had collected my bags and then gone and gotten put on a new plane, had to line up for security to get through to the gate, which was about another hour... In short, after arriving at 7am, I didn't get to sit down again until after 9:30.
- Met some total legends on the flight over and whilst waiting in LAX. For once, got sat next to somebody I could hold a conversation with, turned out to be a total legend. Other people whilst waiting in LAX too were good value too, sharing numerous breakfast margaritas with me (which were MASSIVE, and according to channel 4 news, the best in LA)
- Delta is not too bad when it comes to an airline. Sweet choice of films on the flight (I watched fantastic mr fox twice). Seats are ok, but not comfy enough to sleep on.
Today, gonna go grab a sim card so I can have a mobile (aka cell phone) over here. If anyone wants the number, just let me know via facebook or twitter. Gonna go and meet up with Mans tonight in NYC too I think and probably go out with him for a little bit.
In summation
- I arrived
- I'm safe and well
- I got massive margaritas in LAX
- Met some legends on the way
PEACE
