Its wierd I know but this is probably almost a year over due.. and I don't know If I'm gonna remember everything as clearly as i'd like.
Well its late October 2006 i'm packing my suitcase getting ready for my first trip overseas (right now i'm getting so very nervous)
See I've never been overseas before and here I am dropping myself in the deep end not going to a nearby country like New Zealand, i'm going several thousand miles to the United States. Post Sept 11 one would think this would be a very drawn out.. very high security process. But under the circumstances it was pretty good.
Got to New Zeland in 3 hours after leaving brisbane. So I can kinda say i've been to New Zealand.. at least put my feet on solid ground in NZ. Which was a fairly big step before hitting the us.. layover of a few hours in the terminal.
Well there I am waiting at the Terminal for the flight that says its off to Los Angeles and I still can't believe I'm doing this.. I booked the flight months ago.. I have us currency in my pocket.. passport in hand and I still can't believe that 1. this plane is going to LA but that I'm about to step foot on it.
Its starting to get dark outside the auckland terminal. I have people from a basket ball team heading off the US sitting on seats next to me and on the floor infront of me.. Accents sounds like they are from my fellow country but the leader of the group looks and sounds like he is African American. Suspect they are flying over to compete with thier us counterparts.
Its time to board now.. they board in 3 groups i'm on of the last to get on which draws it out a bit... I'm nervous but I know I have a 13 hour flight ahead of me and I relax a little...
Onwards TO LA
