Day 1: Arrived to San Diego

Noon, seat 24B:

Flying with American Airlines. Just got my pasta with broccoli (WTF lasagna with broccoli instead of meat!!!! why not coconut!!!)
I m watching Disney Channel at the moment. It s probably around 1PM london time and everybody seems to do more or less a nap or watchin s movie.
Now the funny thing I noticed is the fact that lots of people are removing their shoes for a long flight and man what the hell some of them were thinking this morning when choosing their socks, can their at least match? Noooo i even saw one guy wearing pinky socks sooo... not cute.
Anyway, after my lunch the passenger 24A decided to go to the toilet, so I stood up to let him go be before going he bended to pick up his headphones, oh lord, I saw something and i still considered myself to young to see such a thing, the well used to be white type of kangaroo underwear with the ugly brown trail right in the middle of his ass eouwww. So to get over it I decided myself to go to the bathroom.
When it was my turn I just realized mistake number 1... hold one... let me do a PAUSE...cause right now I just suffered from my mistake twice which is wearing only my socks... a stupid woman just walked on my poor little foot and to make it worst she ain t the size of a cotton buds but more like a bottle of Perrier reverse B@#$%^!

So let s go back to mistake number 1, when i walked inside the tiny toilet, looked at the floor and desperately regret not wearing my shoes due to a certain liquid spreading on the floor, I prayed hard wishing it was only water! Mistake n 1 of my trip: achieved with great success and twice!

4PM London time:
A flight attendant gave the blue and green visa paper thingy. Have u been to USA? For those who ve never been here the thing, the blue paper ask u among other questions if u have been in a farm/ranch/pasture recently: yes for sure, I m living in Ireland with green grass and sheeps! And then the green paper ask u if:
- u are a drug dealer
- engage in immoral or criminal activities
- involved in espionage or sabotage between 1933-45 ( no doubt about it, my parents were not even conceived by that time!)
- detained or retained custody of a child from the US
Then if u say 'YES" to any of these questions the wrote: Please contact the American embassy BEFORE (in capital and bold) you travel to the US since u may be refused admission into the US.
Now let me ask u a question? Why on earth they gave us that green paper ONCE ( and I put in capital and bold) we are actually IN the plane??? Anyway like u re gonna answer yes to any of these questions?

Midnight London time:
And around 5PM in Los Angeles. I finally after 11 hours and 5 minutes in LAX airport.

I went through the security check in with this guy asking a series of questions, have u been there before? how long are u staying? business or holidays? who are u working for? what s ur job? there is actually an advantage working for a big american company! Then I picked up my bag, with this chinese guy who put the letter 'AGR' on my blue paper i filled on the plane. Came through the 3rd security checkin where the guy asked me to go through the Agriculture check in WTF, i said i haven t been to a farm, what do they expect me to have, a lamb in my suitcase!!!! Like i m gonna bring some food from Dublin to USA!!!!

2AM London time:
Now i m actually in the South Band amtrak train going to San Diego after i took a shuttle to bring me to the train station. So today i took 1 cab, 2 plane, 1 shuttle cab, 1 train and probably one cab to go to my hotel so roughly 20 hours in transportation, :) But funny thing i m not yet tired, since it s really sunny and hot outside I feel like chill out outside ;)
ImageHere is a couple of clicks I made in the train :)

ImageNice Sunset :) Now it s 5AM London Time, I haven t sleep for 24 hours, I am in desperately need of food, i m waiting for my delivery then i will hit my bed so hard, all night till tomorrow!!!!!!

Take care People :)
PS: sorry if I don t reply to all ur messages right away or not at all, I m kind of busy wearing my flip flop, enjoying the sun :) but keep commenting :)

Stuck at the airport...waiting...

Image

It s 13:25 PM, I was supposed to take my flight to Toulouse at 12:50 ;( It started this morning with a rain, not just a rain, a monsoon! I went to the Spar to pick some stuff to eat, in about a minute half , half of my pants were already soaked as for my shoes they were already drowning underneath the water.
I arrived at the airport, and see that my flight as 20 min of delay, great, I m going through the airport security remove my belt (like i m gonna have an explosive hide in it) anyway, check the board, Gate A11. 20 min later, I moved to A8 because of the delay. I called my dad to tell him I will have 20 min late. 10 min later, again an announcement this time made by an Italian due to the 'accenté' he had, to tell I have to move my ass to Gate A14 and by the way this is not 20 min delay but 1h and 10 min, GREAT! I called again my dad, got the voice machine grrrrrrrr, to tell to come an hour later and to certainly NOT cancelled the reservation at the restaurant for my GIANT bloody steak, no matter what time i ll be there, I ll have it!
Ok, people, gotta go! Hopefully my plane will be there. Stay tune for my next adventure, usually i m not a lucky person, and there is always something funny to say after it.
I m starting to feel the tireness due to my lack of sleep this morning ;( and as I m looking through the airport windows, watching the heavy rain, I just realized that the 15 meters to bring me to the plane will be very very wet ;( I would be fun to get sick the day I arrive in France ;(

-----------------------
I am just updating this post now, it is 11PM French time, I finally managed to get in Toulouse safely, after 2 damn hours of delays and a flight a bit agitated! With a stupid woman in front of me, who obviously did not listen with the flight attendance said : 'put ur bag underneath the seat in front of u and not underneath ur own seat' of course she put underneath her seat, while my bag was already there, and i pushed back my bag, she turned and looked at me like i was some kind of dumb French! grrrrr u stupid! We did have to wait 30 min more, just because the airport facilities guys were not in hurry to bring the old grandpa and his wheelchair on the plane!!!!
Anyway, my dad was there waiting for me. The weather was freakin awesome, for the first time this summer i did not have to wear a jumper, just a tee shirt ;)
And finally, for my biggest pleasure, and sadly due to the excitement i forgot to take my camera I ate my SUPER SIZE bloody steak, it was.....so so so good my friends, I felt so much joy while eating it. I m really tired now, and i have to get up really early tomorrow to get that damn bloody test ;( still hate injection ;( Am I faint since i m not supposed to eat before ;( we ll see about that.
In the time, u have a good weekend people!
