Day 356 of 365 - 18th of December, 2011
Woke up at 4 to go to Quito airport to leave South America.
Everything was cool except Isabelle and Emily got full random police checks. The flight was good, I finished Survivor and started reading Damned. I love Chuck.
We landed in Houston and had to speed speed speed to catch our flight to LAX. We literally sprinted through the airport. At security there was this adorable nerd that asked us all these questions about Australia and started talking about the Pollywoodside. Who the hell knows about that. Lol. So we didn’t even get to sit down before our flight to LAX, we boarded straight away. That flight was fun, Isabelle, Grace and I had cwazy times.
It was a massive breath of relief to get to LAX. We said goodbye to three of the girls on the trip that are going on holidays in the USA now. We had to walk aaaaallll the way to the international terminal which killed my back because I have two bags. We were allowed to early check in, which was amazing because we had to wait eight hours for our flight.
We did some duty free shopping, it was actually so cheap. I went crazy on MAC make up. I got a bright red lipstick, a waterproof eyeliner and the COOLEST mascara I have ever seen. I also spent about 45 dollars on candy for friends and family. Lol.
So, Isabelle and I were just walking in LAX, going to get food and who should walk by but Chord Overstreet! I started freaking out and so did Isabelle and then we ran back and told everyone but they went and looked and only saw his back and said it wasn’t him. But on closer DOUBLE inspection we found out it was him. HOW FUCKING COOL! I was shaking. He got Panda Express.
The next 6 or so hours were spent relaxing in the LAX lounges, going for walks, buying magazines and candy and just, especially for me, loving to simply be in the Los Angeles vicinity. We went through customs and all the people were really lovely. Going through the security scanning section, guess who was going home for Christmas? RYAN KWANTON! aka Jason Stackhouse. Aka the really hot brother off true blood. WHAT ARE THE ODDS OF SEEING TWO CELEBRITIES IN LESS THAT TWO HOURS? SO COOL! Got to the gate lounge and four boys arrived that would be on our flight, and Emily and I were looking at one of them in particular that looked SOOO familiar. Lotti turned around and was like ‘Owen. The rowing coach’ and we all started freaking out. He’s on of our old rowing coaches and he’s on our flight (and what’s even more freaky is that out of this whole Airbus A380, he’s sitting next to Isabelle. WHAT ARE THE CHANCES!)
We boarded FINALLY but there was an hour hold up, but I wasn’t to fussed. Thanks to amazing Airbus technology I got to watch the take off from a camera attached to the back of the plane on the outside, it looked so cool.
The flight is nearly half way through and I actually feel like I’m doing pretty well. I slept for like three hours! That’s probably a record for me. I started watching Crazy, Stupid, Love again just because I have an irrational obsession with Ryan Gosling. I’m going to read two magazines I got now and then maybe watch a movie. Everyone is sleeping but it’s okay.
I’m excited to land in Melbourne and see the family, I miss them.
