Touch down! After an 11 hour flight with a P-Plate, pilot we've finally made it to San Fransisco and are ready to start our 6 week adventure around the land of dreams, The United States of America.
Our adventure was kicked off by an obsured 6 am wake up, followed by a ride to the airport with sobbing mothers. The moment we arrived at the airport we realised that this journey was going to be anything but normal when two flight attendants ran past, yelling military commands into radios. It seemed the flight attendants and security guards had swapped jobs for the day. After saying a quick goodbye, we boarded the plane to begin our eleven hour flight. Tasty? Nope, not at all...
The flight began with the captain being introduced as Derrick. Before take off, he seemed to run a few laps of the tarmac, making sharp manoevers and speed changes. It was assumed he was an L-plate pilot, who had to sit his P's before flying us to America. Presumably he passed the test, because we were soon on our way!
The flight was absolutely gruelling. Despite the in-flight movies, one of which was a rip-off of Indiana Jones, except with wrestlers and kids, the hard seats prevented much joy and relaxation. The low point came nine hours in when Nathan fell asleep, and Sam was forced to watch a horrific romance film starring Rachel McAdams.
But we did arrive eventually! And we soon learnt how far away from home we were. San Francisco is no ordinary town, you see. We discovered there are more homeless on the streets than home-owners...A city run by homeless - this was truly beyond our imagination!
Americans drive on the right side of the road...fancy!
Stay tuned for more San Francisco stories!
Juice,
Sam and Nathan.
Rachel McAdams...hey at least it wasn't all four twilight movies in a row :P keep safe guys :)
