FINALLY I'm here

After three years of planning and checking schedules I've finally arrived in The Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave.

THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!!!!!!!!

After saying a tearful goodbye to my family and friends in Cape Town(when I say tearfulI mean them and NOT me ;-) ). I landed in Johannesburg to be welcomed by the new and improved OR tambo airport where i proceeded to get lost,yes I now know that its important to READ the signs above your head!. After much confusion and a trip through the passport control I was well and truely on my way to place of my dreams,I boarded the plane (the Last one of course,and you all thought I was so efficient) and got comfy.

Half an hour later the drinks were served(Took a Bottle of Rose-I can hear you all saying "no surprises there")after the wine I felt a little calmer,wine tends to sooth me like a dummy sooths a baby (ha Ha Ha ha sorry Mom and Dad I learnt from the best).

After 18 HOURS!!!!!!!!! of flying and an hour long stop in Senegal(To refuel and no I did not Refuel as well-What do you people take me for?.......I refueld once the Plane had taken off again ;-).I finally touched down in Washinton DC-Home of The White House,Capitol Hill,The National Monument,the Smithsonian...ok ok ok I'll stop sounding like The Fromers Guide.

I was picked up at the Airport by Aunty Adrienne(After charming them at passport control and customs-In Fact the Officer at Customs asked me if I travelled through DC often when I said it was my first time,he replied "Really? I swear I saw you last week"Im not sure if that was a pick up line or not if it was....he needs work!).

We went back to her(Aunt Adrienne's-Keep focused-) hotel for breakfast where I had a bagel with cream cheese(yes Tandi would be jelous).

After Breakfast we hit the road and drove for 5 hours to West Virginia (passing about a 100 McDonalds,Applebees,Taco Bells,Burger Kings,Wendy's and Pizza Hut's along the way).

And this is where you find deep in the woods of Alderson West Virginia,its peaceful and just what I needed after all that flying and driving.This is where I am going to recharge my batteries and get myself ready for the Bright Lights of NEW YORK CITY.

Its 4:40 in the afternoon here so that would make it almost midnight in South Africa,and that would mean all my friends are out beveraging or snoring their old lives away!

I just wanted to end off my first entry by thanking everyone who sent safe Travel messages,BBMs,Tweets and wall posts. Its so appreciated! I miss you all so much and im always thinking about you.

Keep Safe
lots of Love
