A couple of hours

This is Cappaccino the cat, sitting on my suitcase. I'm taking him with me to the USA.

All packed and ready to go. Only 4 more hours until we go to the airport. My passport photo is very weird.

I've got a pillow to have on the plane. The flight to LA will be over 12 hours long.

It's about 32 degrees in Greenville. We get there on Thursday morning at 10. But they are 17 hours behind NZ time! So it'll be like Thursday middle of the night in NZ.

I'm going to miss my friends in Room 14 heaps. I'll take lots of photos to show them.

So many days to go...

There's only 12 days to go now, and I'm feeling desperate to go. For some reason, we're planning a trip to Washington DC, the 2nd place we're going, and not Greenville the 1st place we're going.

Anyway we all want to go to the space and air museum. This is one of the exhibitions we want to go to:

it's going to take a long, long time to get there, 8 hours driving, so I'm not looking forward to that. 

We're going to see my Mum's cousin Mark and his fiance Beth when we're in Washington DC too.  I haven't met them before and I'm really looking forward to it.

New stuff

Hi

I brought a travel journal the other day so I could remember America. We're also going to start packing soon, so we can get it  out of the way and we have to buy some things for the plane. Its going to be fun using my travel journal, I cant wait to start writing in it as well.

In two weeks my brother is going to sell me his ipod. That will be cool cos I can play games and dont  have to share it with him and he cant get the games I want (It'll be cool for the plane).

Getting excited!

Hi my name is Esme.

This is my first blog. We're going on a trip to the USA in 25 days.Getting to where we're going is 4 flights. Wellington to Auckland, Auckland to Los Angeles, Los Angeles to Chicago, Chicago to Greenville in South Carolina.  We're visiting our Aunt and Uncle and cousins.

Its going to take ages and then we have another flight from Greenville to New York and then to Boston so we can go to New Hampshire to see our friends.



I am so excited and I can't wait....



....the best part is I get 3 weeks off school and come home to school holidays!
