USA Pt. 1 Visiting the US
Alright! This will be in english today!
When I booked the tickets I didn't really think about how early we would have to get to the Airport in Sweden (Arlanda).
This was my morning the 22/7-07 (Midsommarafton)
03.00 waking up. Pretty much dead.
04.00 Taking a cab to the central station.
04.35 on Arlanda-Express (train to the airport)
07.55 leaving for Heathrow, London.
xx.xx on Heathrow, spending 1 hour in line for security control.
xx.xx on Virgin Atlantic on my way to LAX. Virgin Atlantic was awesome to fly with. They had a personal media center for everyone, with lots of movies, tv-shows and music to choose from. And they had so much food. :) 11 hours went by quickly.
14.50 (2.50 PM) LAX. (LA International Airport) It was not easy to get into the US, we had to fill out a lot of forms and give our fingerprints and let them take photos of us. That sucked! No integrity at all!
Was a bit pissed off when we finally got out.
15.40 Finally got to meet K's 5:th uncle's wife and his 2 cousins. So good to see them again (they visited Sweden last year). K's 5:th uncle's wife took me to a little mall so I could by some Dermalogica face block, which is much cheaper in the US
In the evening they had a welcome party for us and K's second uncle and cousin that also arrived from Sweden later on that day. (most of K's relatives live in the US)
K's cousins loved the presents that we'd bought them from Teknikmagasinet and Claes Ohlsson.
That night we slept in K's 5:th uncles house, since we the next morning were going to San Fransisco, to leave K's 11 year old cousin C on Summer Scool by the John Hopkins Programme at Stanford University. On the way to San Fransisco we went to the Airport again to pick up K's 4:th Uncle with family that arrived from Florida. They were also going on the trip.
More of that in the next post. (I'm not sure that I will continue writing in english. It's tough for me, besides, my english is really bad).
I just had to take a picture of this. Found it on Heathrow on the way to the security control. We don't have this in Sweden. It's cool. Don't you think?
