My long trip to Santa Monica 081010


1.30 am, Camilla it's time to get up. Ollie woke me up, me, my dad, and Ollie had a late/early breakfast in the kitchen before me and my dad took off to the airport.
I had sleept for an hour and then it was time to get up... We drove for 2h with one short break.


At 3.26 am we arrived at Landvettern Airport. It was almost empty at that time. And we had our second breakfast. You can bet that I was tired, and that I had butterflys in my tummy.
Then it was time for my big green bag to leave me, I hope that I will see it safe and sound in L.A.
At 5.30 am I hugged my dad goodbye and went true the security control.

6.20 am I got on the airplane that took me to Heathrow (London) as I sat down on my seat I discovered that there wasn't many who sat down around me and when the plane took off I saw that almost all of the passengers wear sitting in the back end of the plane. And then I discovered that I bought my ticket in Economy Extra. Thats soo nice!

8.06 (London time) The airplane landed safe on British ground. Off the plane and true the first security control, then a long long long line to the next one where they started to ask where I was going and why. And if I packed my bags by my self and on.... forever! Then when I came true and stood in line for my next boarding card I saw that I had lost my old one, so now they could't track my bag at all! They told me to go to the gate and before that I had a quick lunch. At the gate they told me to board the plan last so that they could see if my bag would turn up in time for take off. And lucky me it did turn up. But I had to go down to the luggage to confirm that the big GREEN bag was mine :) On the plane I had just one person next to me, which was so nice. The Plane was a big one, with 9 seats in each row.
I saw a movie, had a meal, saw a movie, had a meal .... on and on and on... and all the time I was keeping an eye on LA time... so I wondered why we had a meal all the time... Then the last hour of 10h which it took from London I got it, Snack, Lunch, Snack, Dinner and on...
The movies I saw was :
  • The Ghost Writer
  • Shrek forever after...
  • Turn off the screw
  • Last song
4.10 pm we landed at LAX in Los Angeles. Now it was time, I was so nervous did I have all the papers with me or have I forgotten one at home in Sweden?! It's so much paper that need to be ready for a VISA. But they let me in :) SO HAPPY!
After I picked up my BIG GREEN bag, I had to go true a security control again and the man asked me if I had any money or food in my bags... No I don't!

I took a cab to my hotel and then I took a walk around a few blocks. And then went to bed 6.30 pm (LA time) So Tired!
