Kids, tomorrow I am flying to the US of A.
And I cannot stop smiling. And the smiling is more than I was yesterday because I keep doing more research into LA and Vegas and I squeal with delight.
My face hurts from the smiling.
I saw pictures and lists of things to do in LA... like Rodeo Drive and then there is Universal Studios, and Disneyland and the Hollywood sign and ... OK I'm starting to hyper ventilate from the excitement.
And then there is Las Vegas... where anything can happen if you have money. I saw a helicopter ride where you fly into the Grand Canyon and picnic in the middle of it. THE MIDDLE OF THE GRAND CANYON!!! We are SO doing that. I have never been on a helicopter and I must get on one.
I just cannot wait until I land in LAX. I don't think I will be able sleep a wink tonight as I imagine all the things I will be seeing and tasting. I have watched television shows for years where they show images of LA and Vegas and your imagination runs wild.
I want my holiday to start now!!!
There is one small downside that I will have to get used to... Tipping.
In Australia it is not common to tip because staff own a very good wage and barely provide good service, especially in Canberra. So when the bill arrives, you don't have to provide a tip because you know they are earning $15 an hour, as oppose to the Americans at roughly $5 an hour... which is complete bullshit. How can someone survive on that ... which is why you tip. It will be an odd experience but hey, I'm up for it. I have my US dollars ready and waiting.
That's really the only thing that is a little bit of a concern, however, it is minor and I promise I will let you all know how I go in LA and Vegas, baby!!
WHOOP WHOOP!!!
