ups and downs!

Travelling America has had its ups and downs.

Ups being;

·         with the O’Donnells - I don’t know how I would of survived without them,
·         the scenery,
·         eating out,
·         air conditioning,
·         shopping,
·         meeting new people with Kirstie O’Donnell,
·         finding out about my new baby cousin,
·         having two showers at the same time at Auntie Kilma’s house,
·         the weather.

Downs being;

·         the campervan - it’s the size of Auntie Kilma’s bathroom,
·         walking,
·         eating in,
·         hours of driving,
·         lack of sleep,
·         limited internet access,
·         the toilet,
·         mosquitoes,
·         being called  ‘Retard’,  ‘Idiot’, ‘Spaz’ and ‘Stupid Girl’ by Kiran,
·         getting into trouble for almost everything I do,
·         scummy RV parks.

We went to about half a dozen national parks.  The best national park for me was the Grand Canyon; it was gigantic and amazing to look at from all the different viewpoints we went to.  I didn’t particularly dislike any of them, but if I had to state the one I least enjoyed, it would be Zyon; it was too hot and there were far too many insects and lizards.

One of the highlights of this holiday was staying at Auntie Kilma’s house.  It was nice to sleep in an actual bed, wash in a proper bathroom – not like the 1-meter-squared bathroom in our camerpvan, eat proper food, watch television and access facebook.

A lowlight of America was the day the O’Donnells left us to go back to Las Vegas.  Our drive to Lake Tahoe was long and boring without them, and the campsite was hideous, with no hook-ups or public showers.

Overall, America has been great but I’m really looking forward to going to London and seeing the new baby, and then finally going home to my beloved friend Katie.

Nothingness

So far this holiday has been... great?

I enjoyed it mostly because of the O’Donnell’s company, without them it’s not so great, yes i have Kim, but, well...

The best part of this holiday so far was probably the white water rafting, i wasn’t happy doing it at first, but then when the waves got wild it was the best.

The worst part has to be leaving the O’Donnell’s, or the unbelievable long drives- nothing to do, or see, just rocks in the distance and dead fields of nothingness.

Seeing rocks all the time gets extremely boring. Rock after rock, hmmm that one is bigger than the last one, ooh this one it orange!!! Great huh? I guess the can be quite amazing though, but i think i would appreciate them more if i were older.

I sometimes wish I had more GB on my iPod, so I could buy a few movies for the drives. It gets boring, playing on my dsi for an hour then listening to some music while playing random games on my iPod for a while. Well, at least this time I get to write a blog thingy, YAY!

I can’t wait to get home, but i don’t want to go back to school.

My favourite place has got to be Las Vegas, but i can’t wait to go to San Francisco. The most interesting place was Navajo.

My favourite activity here: white water rafting, shopping (for me of course, although shopping for mum, dad and Kiran is fine), eating, and sleeping.

One thing i don’t understand is why they call it Yellowstone; the big rocks there are hardly yellow. If i could i would rename the Grand Canyon so it would be large rock. J

One thing for sure is that i am really excited to see my new baby cousin!!

We had Wendy’s the other day, it wasn’t as nice as i remember it was in New York, here it was DISGUSTING, except from the chips and coke. We also had pizza hut the other day aswell, it was sooooooo good!! The stuffed crusts were the best, and that stringy cheese inside and the pizza base was perfectly cooked, Kim and I ordered: a make your own pizza with chicken, pineapple, and diced tomatoes with stuffed crust, it was to die for!

Can’t wait for more shopping, eating, sleeping and stuff.
