My way down under

I got into salt lake, and recharged my Ipod because it took forever to get onto the plane. Then I finally got on the plane, got to LA and found out that my flight got cancelled! So they gave me a hotel room and I spent the night in LA at the Western. It was really nice - for a teenager all by myself, it was really very nice :) What stunk though, is that I was by myself... I should have had a party!

They said to check out at 6:15am the next morning, but I woke up at 5 - way too early. It took forever to get the plane prepped and ready to go. We finally left at 1:15pm. We were in the lobby all that time. I was scared because there was no one next to me, but I was happy to find out (when we were taxing out) that I had a whole row to myself so I could stretch out and sleep and enjoy my flight.

I never finished a movie - I started six! None of them were exciting to me at the time. The food was alright, no, it was disgusting. Um, I arrived in Brisbane at, I don't know what time, I think it was at about 8pm. Neil Munro had a video camera on me as I walked out of the gate. It scared the heck out of me and I was speechless and camera shy! He caught me off guard.

Got back to the house and met the family. They loved all their gifts (Sandra says thank you very much!) . Went to bed, woke up earlier than anyone thought I was going to wake up. Ahh, looked around at the school - I wish our school was like that (John Paul College) and then we went to the Koala Centre and saw some koalas in the centre, and they looked uncomfortable. I would have liked to hold them. Then I saw some wild small grey kangaroos outside the centre. They came up to me to see if I had any food. We went to Mutual. There are a lot of Samoans - they're very nice people, but a little intimidating if you don't know them.


This is a sideways picture of the recharing station in the Salt Lake airport where I recharged my Ipod.
Here's a photo of the Western (where I stayed)
This is my plane - the one that actually came!
I had the whole row to myself, and it fit me like a glove with four pillows and four blankets!
This is a video I took when I got the hotel vouchers.

And that's it!

Jason, it's so fun to see you and already know about your trip. I loved the video with your voice. I don't think that we'll even need a welcome back party to hear all your stories because we will hear them hot of the press. Jk Well I love you and keep keeping us posted. Oh Mom called all like "My little Boy" I told her all about it. She's happy you finally made it and that your safe.
