SECOND POST!
I'm so glad to finally be here. Everything is way too exciting, though. Like, the grass is even exciting here. Australia is way more amazing than I imagined. Which sounds corny and dumb. Shut up.
Well, things started out rough, and got rougher. Family, you were here for the first part. LITTLE DID YOU KNOW that your favorite Janet would be suffering from many deeper horrors in the future.
Problems:
1. Got in line, went through line, discovered I didn't actually have my boarding pass.
2.Found out I don't have a Visa to actually get into the country.
3. Found out my flight was overbooked and that I would have to fly to Canada and deal with customs there. Alone. I'm still a child!!!! Sort of.
4. I sat all alone on the way to Ontario. And they made you pay for food.
5. As soon as I got to Ontario, my flight was BOARDING to Vancouver. And I was lost. I literally had to sprint around the airport carrying 2 weeks of luggage with me. I made it just in time. I was last in line.
6. I found out my Visa credit card doesn't work internationally when I was trying to buy Jono a present!! YAY AMERICA!
7. I spilled water all over the men I was sitting between on the way to Australia from Vancouver. ONE OF THEM LOOKED LIKE THE MUMMY MAN!! IT WAS SCARY!! The other one was wearing a "World's Best Parent" baseball cap, though, so I wasn't as intimidate.
8. One of the syrup bottles that I purchased for Jono LEAKED ALL OVER THE OTHER ONE AND THE BAG AND THE THINGS I HAD IN THE BAG AND EVERYTHING WAS STICKKKYYYYYY.
9. I dropped my jam and bread and got jam on everything and the mummy man laughed at me.
10. I DIDN'T SLEEP!! I still haven't slept, actually! Jono is making me stay awake. He's a sick horrible person.
11. I just remembered one of the flight attendants was SO ANNOYING I occupied myself for about 2 hours thinking of creative ways to kill her. I'm not going to rant about this one. I moved on.
12. I can list my problems, and make it to the double digits.
13. I got stopped at Toronto customs for ACNE MEDICATION. You know, those little Clean&Clear blackhead eraser pads. That's right. The man at customs was going to confiscate them because he couldn't read the bottle to see that they weren't like...C4 paper. (They mentioned that kind of paper in chapter 3 of Hannibal!!)
Alright. Those were my problems.
Good things?
I watched: 17 Again, I Love You Man, Dragonball Z, Hannah Montana, He's Just Not That Into You, Coraline, 30 Rock, Merci Dieu, etc.
P.S. Stephanie my new husband played Goku. Look him up.
Mommy, you'll be happy to know that I had a lovely conversation with a couple from Paris...in French, of course. We were lamenting over the confusion of airports. That coupled with the fact that I was watching French programming throughout the plane ride and the broadcasts for Air Canada are done in french......well, you get the picture. BE PROUD OF ME.
As soon as I got off the plane in Sydney, I complained nonstop until I got into the shower. And then I went around and visited schools, beaches, restaurants, shopping districts, Akuna Bay, etc. Basically Jono was a sadistic slave driver. And made me walk a mile without shoes.
Okay, maybe I just forgot my shoes. Whatever. I'm tired. I haven't slept in...a very....long time. I just had really good chocolate. From Germany, in Australia, WITH A SPANISH NAME....AND I AM AMERICAN!!! That's four. I'm so cosmopolitan. Hah.
Alright, more explanations to go with pictures that I will put up later.
LOVE YOU ALL!
NEW POST SOON!
Love,
Janet
