Holiday...

Finally have internet access and breathing room to blog.

It was my first time traveling biz on Emirates so I thought I'd might as well milk it for what its worth. P dropped me off at the biz section of Terminal 3. It looked more like a hotel than an airport check-in area. Got my boarding pass and headed to the lounge to check it out. Really luxurious place. Chilled for an hour, then picked up the chocs Cammy's mom asked me to pick up for them and headed to my flight. Oh, and I had breakfast at the lounge too. It was yummy. Because I was biz, everything went smoothly. No rush, I was first in line for most queues and I was treated pretty well. I could stretch completely in my seat, watched alot of movies I missed and had some delightful food. It was an awesome experience.

Landed in IAH (Houston), passed through immigration really quick (thanks to being on biz class and being offloaded first) and then got my suitcase within minutes. Went to get my borading pass for my connecting flight and then chilled at the food court in the terminal. And saw a lil birdie - sparrow perhaps?:

The flight was fifty minutes or so and everything went smooth.

So I'm now sitting pretty in Texas, enjoying my vacation and staying with my best friend and hubby. Her hubby. I'm still single and have awful luck with men remember? Anyhow, I'm the first guest in her new and first house and well..... it's certainly been interesting.

Cammy says the house hates her. It's quite the fixer-upper. I'm not the fussy type and I kinda prepared myself for things to be a little - how do I put this politely? - difficult? They're vacuuming the carpet because a pipe is leaking and soaking the carpet. The water is switched on only for a few hours to get the essentials done to prevent further seepage. Hopefully when the plumber arrives it will be fixed. And there are a few other things - but lets not go there. But I'm just super glad to see my best bud - I've missed her terribly.

And things get even better. Al (her bro) will be coming on Wednesday with gf in tow and Cammy and Trav (that's her hubby) will hopefully get time off and we'll have like a super fun filled few days before I fly off to Florida this coming Sunday for a few days. Oh, did I mention Florida? Uh-huh. I'm heading down there to meet up with a a dear blogger friend of mine. More on that later.

Anyway, my battery is dying and I haven't bought an adapter for my laptop charger yet. It's rather annoying that the plugs are different. I think everything in America is different just to piss all the other countries off.

4 lovers/haters:

welcome to the USA. I hope you enjoy your time here and in the wonderful state of Florida where I reside.
Have fun!

It's true. Everything in America pisses me off too, LOL. But you can go to the local radio shack and get hooked up with a plug converter, and hopefully it will work.

I'm so excited for next week!! And it was wonderful talking to you on the phone. Sorry for the leakage troubles... One word... DEHUMIDIFIER. Works wonders. Like magic.

WELCOME, WELCOME, WELCOME!!!!
