California : Day 1

Ugh. Been a lonnnnng day. Went to bed around 1 am last night. Was up at 5 to go to the airport. Needless to say those four hours were not peaceful, so they don't constitute as real sleep. Been 'up' ever since 5am. I didn't even fall asleep in the plane. You'd better be proud of me.

We flew over the Grand Canyon. Below are the pics of the very beginning (or end) of it -- the main part was on the other side of the silly plane. But still cool. And other plane pictures are included. Then is a pic of my hotel room. We're kinda in a extended living type hotel room, so I'm kinda in a loft, and my parents have a room below me which is on the 'first' floor. We have a small kitchen, two bedrooms, two showers, two sinks etc. It's niiiice. Went on a walk today. Tons of fun. Got mom a flower while I was out... with the one dollar bill I had. That's all I brought. >.< Okay. So. Pictures. Me slaphappy. Me say no more. ;)

My room (loft part visible, outside the window is the pool and busy busy busy street, beside me (on right) are the stairs, and behind me are the showers/sinks/etc.)

POSTSCRIPT:

Okay. Sorry. Had to add this. *I* found it amusing. Perhaps it has to be in context. Even if it does, and no one finds it funny, tough. ;)

EXCERPT:

"Well, that's as good a reason as any." But that was an answer for Face. Castin might have volunteered for this duty without a blemish on his record, but there was still a possibility of volatility there. Now, he had to wonder if Dia and Shalla were also carrying around emotional demolition charges just waiting to go off.

"Pirates," Piggy said, interrupting. The Gamorrean settled into a stuffed chair situated between Janson's sofa and the bar, near Donos and Castin.

"Pirates to you, too," Phanan said. "Is that a new greeting? Something Gamorrean? 'Scabrous pirates to you this morning.' "

" 'And bleeding pirates to you.' " Face gave his wingman a formal bow.
