So we’re sitting here in our cabin. Rachel is jet-lagged, Wendy thinks coffee is one of God’s best creations, and Sarah thinks tissues definitely have a right to compete with the coffee. :-)
So what else is there to say....hmmm...
We’ll have to pause a minute cause Sarah is blowing her nose...again.
Okay, sorry for the delay, we’re back.
In no particular order here are some thoughts we have about our trip so far.
Airplane food is horrible!
I felt like I was eating Barbie says Rachel, cause it was so plastic.
48 hours without good food was no fun.
Sarah says food is what life is about, and without good food, why live.
Wendy is tired of the complaining that is going on about the food and will attempt to lighten the mood.
So while we were in LA we went to this awesome Burger joint called “Carl Jr’s”. It had the most amazing burgers we have ever tasted...if your ever in LA definitely make it a priority to eat there. (btw, Sarah does say she has had better, but I think she just likes to argue...hehe...jk)
We would also like to say that we were not hyper in the hotel room like my mom wrote in her blog. (Well maybe Sarah was...but she says it was Derrick that was hyper...hmmm.) Rachel and Wendy at least acted civilized. (well according to Sarah they were boring...again, hmmm)
The place we’re currently staying is about a 1 1/2 hour drive from where we want to be...but it has a heater so we’re happy, cause having a heater is not very common here in “downunder-ville”
Domino’s pizza (in australia) has really great pepperoni and Sarah had a dream that she thanked the lady who made it for making the pepperoni so amazing and crispy (...Wendy is not sure that a lady made it...most pizza makers are guys...but I guess if Sarah dreamt it then that makes it true) :-)
Rachel would now like to make a few comments about Dad’s driving.... Oncoming traffic is on the right...Dad likes to drive on the right too...he should drive on the left.
one of the funniest moments of driving was when we left the car rental place...dad inadvertently turned on the back windshield wipers, and because it wasn’t raining they were making lots of noise. So dad, needing some quiet, calls back “WHO’S DOING THAT”, “STOP IT”. Of course we all start laughing cause we knew it was the windshield wipers. It was fun to give him a hard time about it. :-)
Prolly the most entertaining thing so far was watching Matt eat pizza while he was asleep. Wish that we had a video to show y’all, but all we have is a pic. (see the “photo” page)
Our rental van was a very nice size, except when you have 9 bags, 3 of which are maximum size (not Wendys), :-) 1 or 2 carry-ons each and 8 people. The very back seat was pulled all the way up to the seat in front of it, leaving no room for legs. Matt, Derrick and Sarah sat there. The next seat was pulled up almost all the way to the front seats but left just enough room for Rachel’s long legs. :-) Of course the parental unit got all the leg room they could ever want. :-) Because of traffic the drive turned into about 2 hours. Not much fun when your cramped like that.
<b>Going, goin, GONE!!!</b>
