I was on work&travel in US and when I went with a friend to Florida, we took a bus to Key West, there were like ten people in the bus so we took two seats each in front of each other and went to sleep. Suddenly I hear my frinds sleepy, dreamy, surprised voice "Agnieszka, look what a handsome guy is sitting behind you!!!" I look around, the guy become all red and runs in the end of the bus and I hear he starts talking in Polish to his friends. That was funny

Funny bit was neither of us had any German. The tour guide could well have been asking 'how did those two edgits get mixed up with a German tour' for all we knew.
But we had a great day & Santorini is a heavenly island & the wine isn't bad either.

A world is born again that never dies.

Then my uncle ran up and deterred them... Too bad, I was really looking forward to an 'interaction.'
And apparently it's crazy to take a picture of them haha, everyone laughed at me!
Then in Las Vegas, this SUPER big black guy was handing out cards to my sister's friend and I and I told him to F off haha, then he followed us and said I'd at least be good on stage if I wouldn't watch... o_O Maybe not my best idea haha.

Anyway I am deathly afraid of flying but I get through the first leg pretty okay. Then we get to Minnesota and get on the next flight. My friend was sitting about 4 rows behind me which kinda freaked me out.
As the plane starts to taxi out I stand up turn around to my friend and yell "I need to get off this f'ing plane right now". Her eyes get all wide and she says "sit down it's ok". So I do.
There was this old man sitting next to me I was so close to him that I was practically sitting on his lap. I think he felt bad, he kept looking at me and smiling. It was quite tramatic.
Almost forgot the part on the first flight I had horrible diarrhea because of the anxiety. So I went to the bathroom towards the front of the plane and my friend was like what is wrong with you those bathrooms are for the first class passengers. I was like F that I gotta go and I can't make it all they way to the back of the plane. Those people are just going to have to deal with it.

1. The Revenge of the Mummy roller coaster- did this 9 times in 2 days i loved it so much.
2. The Hulk roller coaster- a G-force experience like no other, the very definition of thrilling
3. The front seat of the Khengail coaster in Busch Gardens, suspended 200 feet over the park before that final hurtle-terrifying.
4. The people in Florida being generally very helpful and friendly.
The only downsides were the poor transport system to popular spots like Daytona Beach and the fact that Americans use the word "Awesome" for absolutely everything good bad or indifferent, got tired of hearing it after 2 days!
Weather was very nice though.mostly about 30 degrees and i had a lovely return to Eire this morning- zero degrees, its good to be home ha.
So did i miss any scandal?

You know how much it is to go to Disneyland over here in Cali?StephenKingman wrote:Well i just had a great travel adventure in Orlando, Florida. Been swung upside down and inside out so many times the past week my brains have dislodged slightly so i will need some cocoa and a few days rest! It was absolutely brilliant fun though, i havent laughed so hard or been so thrilled in a very long time. The Disney theme parks and Universal parks are truly amazing and magical places, very hard to describe until you have been there but suffice to say its exactly like walking into every childhood dream you ever had. I was like a 5yr old all over. Special mentions go to:
1. The Revenge of the Mummy roller coaster- did this 9 times in 2 days i loved it so much.
2. The Hulk roller coaster- a G-force experience like no other, the very definition of thrilling

$91 a ticket haha, and passes still have blackout dates.
Hey, it's America, do you really expect people to be authentic?
We're pretty sarcastic too, awesome serves as everything haha.
I'm just hoping you didn't hear salty, hot, fab, and some other toootttaaalllllyyyyy ridiculous airhead terms. Well then again, you'd probably just be subjected to that torture in California... Ugh.
