First week down UnDeR

Monday june 23rd 2008
I left to go to the san fran airport with my mother. We spent a few hours hanging out down town then headed to the airport! So we had to wait for like an hour or so and while we were waiting i had the chance to experience to see a happy old married couple wearing matching purple polos. oh yes it was a good time and quite the kodak moment.
so first off before you can even get on the plane(flying buisness that is) you have to be wearing fancy shmancy clothes. so pretty much all i had that fit the "dress code" was...a dress. yeah wonderful. and then they wouldnt let this guy on the plane until he switched his shoes because they werent appropriate enough. it was ridiculous.
anyway... so pretty much the 13 hour flight to sydney was a cake walk. i watched The Other Bloyen Girl and the end of Definetley Maybe. And i ate some good cheesecake and slept for like 9 hours...yeah it was a breeze.
then i get off and have to go through customs and while i was waiting for them to check my bag(because i was bringing food for our american 4th of july lol) they were searching this guys bag and he pulls out a pair of fluffy black handcuffs haha yeah the security dudes just laughed and told him to put them away.
then i waited in the airport for 4 more hours and finally headed to the Gold Coast.
My uncle don picked me up and took me to his house. 
after i arrived they took me on a drive around the area and towards the beach. Then i went to the mall to go grocery shopping... yeah they have grocery stores and meat stores in there malls... with my aunt and her girls, Taylor who is almost 3 and Annabelle who is 7 weeks.
Well i had bad jet lag and got really tired around 5 and the young women came over at 7. these girls were so much fun. 
Thursday june 26th
Oh yeah i forgot to mention that i left on monday and got here wend. haha.
Anyways, on thurs i just played with my cousins and helped my uncle with some stuff for his work, it was a pretty laid back day.
Friday june 27th
Friday i woke up at 6 and headed to work with my uncle at 7. he pretty much works in the ghetto part of town in a really weird building where they do tax stuff. 
i helped him get ready with stuff and met alot of cool and super funny guys. we were there until about 3 then headed home. my aunt was sick so i just played with her kids with don and read alot.again i got tired really quick and we were going to go to the movies but i slept instead.
I just love it here in Australia it has been so beautiful out. but its so weird because people are wearing long pants, sweaters, scarves and boots but to me its short wearing weather haha its only in the 70s but i love it.
i still cant get over how much i love the australian accents they are so amazing.!

hahaha wow brit thats awesome!
..can we get matching purple polos? :)
yeah, you should have brought your winter coat.. i told you it would be winter, you know! :)
i can't even believe the plane ride was that long! i would have died, but i know the cheesecake definitely would help, too. Why did you have to dress up for the flight? i don't even get it! haha i laughed that you threw up when your mom told you you were leaving that day. haha oh you would!
well, pretty sure I miss you and just hope you are having fun!

yes it may be there winter but its pretty much like our may :)
man i dont even know why i had to dress up, it either had to do with riding in buisness or using a standby ticket.
