USA Holiday - Day 1 - Arriving in FLORIDA!!

[zephyrrdragon]

Friday 8th July 2011
Spent the whole day travelling. At time of writing it's 3:38am on Saturday UK time (10:38pm Friday Florida time!), but I'm surprisingly awake considering we got up at 5am! The flight was okay, but long - I watched Paul (which I've wanted to see for ages - it was hilarious!) and Rango (which was okay!), and listened to some Cabin

America is REALLY weird! There are actually NO small cars - they're all saloons, trucks, or people carrier-types! The road layout is odd too - it's obvious that it's been meticulously planned not that long ago - rather than originally being medieval tracks or Roman roads! The roads are all at right angles to each other - either N-S or E-W. It must make driving really boring

Sorry, sorry, just LOLing all over the place at this. America is really weird, and for many more reasons too.

And, yes, too true about the driving! :DDD

(No actually I live in the countryside halfway up a hill. The highway follows a picturesque stream down a valley and then my road zig-zags up through the woods. Very pretty :-)

Haha! Well, I'm glad you found it funny rather than offensive! =L I'm sure there must bendy roads somewhere! XD

Wow, sounds really nice! I'd love to stay in your villa!
And yes, America is weird. Been there twice, to five different states. It's very fun but very very weird!
Plus SO JEALOUS that you're going the the HP theme park! I'm going to a midnight premiere of the movie on Thursday, can't tell you how much I'm looking forward to it!
And also what's weird about American roads; they drive on the wrong side 0.0

Thanks, I'M jealous you're going to a midnight premiere - I've never been able to and I won't get to for this one either! =( The WWoHP is awesome, I'm just writing about it for my next entry, so look out for that!! =D
Yeah, I've experienced driving (not me doing it, but being in the car!) on the wrong side of the road in France, but this is completely different! I'm glad I'm NOT driving! =D

Should be awesome! I'm really looking forward to it! And I'll make sure to read your entry ;)
I have actually driven (in a field) but I always think it's weird driving on the wrong side...

Ha! I hope you do more posts on how America is weird!

Houses for rent in Florida tend to come with pools, as the weather stays hot enough for it 95% of the year and the owners feel that a pool makes the house more desirable for renters. I'm not sure about ordinary residences, but I'd bet there are a lot--again, because of the weather.

Hehe! I'm sure I will - I'm trying to do a post about each day, so I think American weirdness will come into them a lot!
Thanks, that makes sense! It's so nice to come back and just jump in the pool! =D
