My trip so far: THIS IS AMERICA....

NEW YORK:
I left London on the 9th of January for New York complete with backpack, ready for my five month trip. Of course I have been to New York several times but its always so good to see my friends out there and I was so excited to see them and see Liz's new apartment! I managed to navigate my way across New York on the Subway, taking Es and Ns downtown, finally arriving at her apartment. As soon as I got there we went to a "hip hop" concert to see mosdef-which was great, I am now so ghetto haha! It snowed while we were there and the park looked so pretty, I also managed to get to the guggenheim with scary and sit on the steps of the met as if I was in gossip girl!

MIAMI/ORLANDO:
On Wednesday 14th I took and early flight to Miami and was greeted by Lizzy, Becca and Scott and enjoyed some beverages in the amazing sunshine! Miami was so fun, it was great to be in the warm weather and experience a very different student lifestyle to that in Scotland! On Friday we embarked on our supposedly four hour road trip to Orlando for CCR (camp counselor reunion!) but having stopped multiple times along the way ....including a 45 minute game of guitar hero in Best Buy...and forgetting to equate in the time difference..we arrived a bit later than anticipated..

The CCR photos speak for themselves but it was so great to see everyone and embarass ourselves in crazy teamclothes all over orlando and in Universal studios! Liz and I read like old times and Becca and Lizzy were as crazy as ever, and Scary and I of course made the best crazy golfing duo! It was so sad to leave everyone on Monday but time to embark on the next stage of my trip...LA!

LA:
I arrived in LA early Monday morning, confused due to lack of sleep during CCR madness and very early flight! Galit picked me up and I was welcomed to the 78 degree heat! I am now with Ruthie, staying with her cousin, and we are enjoying our luxuries of American living before heading to Fiji tomorrow evening! It is so good to finally be together and make some more concrete plans for the trip...aaah!
