the arrival

I am currently somewhere over the states. I like the fact that this plane has individual movies with a touch screen in the seats. I've already watched The Soloist, though I don't think I got the full effect, as it's rather noisy in a plane.
On a good note, there was a 12 year old child sitting in the emergency exit seat which isn't allowed, in case of emergency of course. So they asked to switch with the people behind them, which happened to be me! of course, being the obliging and helpful, I was glad to change to the emergency exit seat.
now I'm watching Star Trek... tee hee

man that's a great movie....
I'm now in San Fran.... wishing I could get out of this building to visit the city I love....
alas, it is not to be and I am sitting in front of the ginormous plane that is to take me to Sydney. It's 8:35 pm local time.. but it's 11:35 my time... I'm usually in bed.. I've bought a cold coffee.. tastes disgusting.. but I hope it will keep me awake till the 10:45 local time take off...so far so good. but it's only been about 20 minutes and 3 sips since I bought it..
I'm debating buying one of those neck pillow things... they look rediculous... though right now, I'm considering looking rediculous a pretty good option in regards to comfort... that and I have over 2 hours to kill.. sigh.. shopping... not good.. I have no room for all this nonsense!
Speaking of which, I saw a book (only sold here in the states of course) all about FARTING! Dad... I thought of you... It was a sound book that you touched buttons to hear different farts! lol.. If I had room... it'd be yours :) Oh speaking of books that would be yours.... I saw those books I was telling you about... the Outliers and Blink books... they're sold here for $20.. so probably about $25 or so back home...
What I didn't realize was that you have to pay to use the internet at the airport... (or else I would have sent this right now instead of when I get to Sydney).
I think this is all for my ramblings at the moment... I'll go walk around for a bit.. hopefully wake up a bit..

It is now 6:45 pm at home and it's 8:45am here in Sydney. I have made it to my room. The internet isn't working... I'm thinking that I'm going to shower... ask how to use the net. send this letter then go walk about. :)

I'm starting to get tired. The flight was long, but bearable. There was someone in the middle seat, but thankfully, they left at the beginning of the flight for a better seat. We took off at 11pm local time (in SF) which was 2am back home... they then proceeded to serve “dinner” lol.... at 3am!?! I slept. we got into Sydney at 4:10pm Home time, or 6:10am local time.

Mom, you may want to make sure to sit on the left hand side of the plane... they got to see the Sydney Opera House... my side didn't. I've only seen the airport, the subway and my hostel room so far...

The room smells and looks um, well there's a bed... and I haven't seen bugs.... eh... we'll see... it's only for 4 nights :)

I think I'll take it easy today... my head is spinning and I need to get my bearings.

I've arrived.. I'm in Australia... the Southern Hemisphere... holy crap! lol!
