okay so now we are up to friday - and we were still in vegas.
i didnt get up until about 11, washed my hair in the best water pressurised shower ever, and then went and had chinese for brunch/lunch with lauren.
then we went to madam tussard's the wax museam to see all the celebrity wax figures and then after that we had to get ready again so we went back to the hotel and got dressed.
then lauren, jill, meg and i went to the sugar factory for dinner where we had the best cobb salad of my life, and we shared a fish bowl cocktail as well.
then we met the rest of the group at the V show which is like a comedy show and was the funniest thing i have ever seen, and we got hurricane cocktails there too, then we took the rest of our drinks with us while we walked down to where our stretch limos were waiting (because you can drink on the street in las vegas) and had free champagne on there. went downa nd got photos at the las vegas welcome sign, went back down the strip again and got dropped at 'pure' which is one of the top five clubs in the world. got into some bucks partys VIP section and drunk there alcohol (we were mixing our own drinks) which turned out to be a bad idea in the end.. because shortly after, after the two cops on the tour brought us a few shots, i don't remember a thing. complete blackout. so thats the end of that blog..
next day.. xo

first day of the tour - LA to las vegas.
lauren and i got up and ready and then went and got a coffee from starbucks before meeting up with the rest of the group to fill out passport stuff.
there are 52 of us in the group so the bus is completely full. on the bus our tour guide ryan told us all this stuff and we established the i was the only, yes the ONLY, under age person on there. great.
so we got to vegas at about 10:30am, lauren and i went shopping and i brought a blur dress, light pink blush coloured silky top with cutouts on the back, a bag and some coral nail polish.
went back to the motel room (oh and lauren and i arn't roomies anymore, i am with a girl named carly from the UK who is actually 31 but looks about 20, its amazing!) and got ready to go out that night.
so we met the group downstairs looking hot as, and went on the bus with everyone else to an italian place for dinner which is where i scored my fake id - from ellen who also has blonde hair and blue eyes and it was good enough - so i ordered a couple of "contiki cocktails" which were delicious.
then we got back on the bus for a strip tour which is when on bus "broke down" and we went into a wedding chapel to wait for the bus to be "fixed" which is when elvis came out and started singing and dancing and then jill and rohan got maried! they dont know each other at all, they are just both on the tour and so it wasnt real real but they got married by elvis which was hilarious.
got back on the bus, which didnt actually brake down, and went to old las vegas for $1 margaritas!
back on the bus and we got dropped at "the moon" nightclub which is on the top floor of the palms and the roof opens up and you can see the night sky. and the bathrooms had THE most amazing view ever!
so we started drinking and doing shots, and jason gave lauren and i $100 just because, to buy drinks with, so that was fun. and i was super drunk but i do remember 90% of the night. so we went back to the hotel via maccas and the casino where we watched lucas lose his money playing blackjack. then to bed at about 5am.
next day.. xo

hey!

yes all of these are late.. its because we haven't had wifi for the first three nights..

so anyway, lets begin with LA.

on wednesday morning i got up at 3:30am and grace drove me to the airport.

flew to philadelphia which was an hour flight and then to LA which was six hours. and whats worse than a six hour flight with no leg room? a six hour flight with no leg room and a kid behind you kicking your seat the whole time.

so i got to LA and got the shuttle from the airport to the train station and then walked about five blocks (in sweltering heat, and i had on winter clothes which was great) checked in to my fancy room and then i was going to go to universal studios for the rest of the day but because it was already 1pm and the receptionist said it closed at 6pm when its not summer i decided it would be a waste of money.

so i walked around downtown and looked at the markets, then got some sushi for dinner, had a shower and went to bed at 7:15.

about 45 minutes later my roomie turned up. her name is lauren and she is from australia too.

so i introduced myself looking like complete shit, and then went back to sleep.

next day.. xo

Hey!
Sorry its late. I went to star bucks last night and when I got home I wanted tI sleep because I had to get up at 3:30am.
So yesterday, I slept in until 8:30am and then started packing for my trip! Went and got my hair done at 12 and I love it.. It's more golden now which is nice.
Then I went home for a quick shower, and went to meet Julia at Starbucks to say our last ever goodbyes. It was sad..
Went home and finished packing and then grace and I took the kids to Ben and Jerry's for free icecream day - the line was monsteroly long and the kids fought the whole time but it was still good. Went home and had fish for dinner which was delicious.
Then grace and I went to shop rite so I could buy sunscreen and face wash and then to my second last Starbucks with the girls. Where I had to say goodbye to mickaela and pauline as well :(
Well anyway I am going to enjoy the glorious LA weather now and go to the markets. Blog again in a few hours! Love ya xo

hey.
into the teens! mum and dad, i will be seeing you sooooooon!
oh and guess what. i didn't set an alarm this morning. it was just beautiful. and i didnt even get the kids ready. its kinda strange not doing everything anymore.
today we dropped rach and G to school so their dinosaur projects wouldn't get ruined then went straight to the gym - my last ever session here.
worked out for an hour and a half, returned the redbox dvds, came home and showered, ate lunch and watched criminal minds.
then we decided we needed a half hour nap before the kids got home.. except just as i fell asleep the doorbell rang because the postie needed me to sign for a package. and then just as i fell asleep again harrison got home.
so i got up and helped out a bit then watched 'once upon a time' that i missed last night because of my extreme bed time.
grace made tacos for dinner, we ate, i played and won foozball against G and then escaped the basement before the boys tackled me to the ground.
and now i am waiting until 8 when gossip girl is on and i can eat my sorbet that i forgot about last night.
goodnight! xo

20.

... so we woke up this morning at about 11am, had some vegemite toast for breakfast, watched E news and i painted my nails clear.. and THEN the girls decided to peer preasure me into going to get a manicure, after they were painted..
so we went in and there was a 45 minute wait, so we went and sat in a maccas and had an iced coffee while we waited.
got our manicures done - mine a purple with chunky glittery sparkle nail polish over it and they look awesome. so now i have sexy nails for my trip on wednesday.
went and brought some sorbet from stop and shop and got a couple of redbox dvds as well.
came home and watched 'honey 2' which was really good except it was a bit too much like 'step up' for me. and then 'tower heist' which was reallllly good! heaps funny too.
ate our leftovers from last nights dinner and then showered.
now i am going to bed at 8:10pm.. earliest ever i think.
goodnight xo

hey!
sorry for the late blog. i was busy attending to other things ;)
so yesterday - well, i can't really remember..
but i am quite sure that grace and i just bummed around the house, napped and thats about it, until 6 when we started getting ready for my going away dinner.
and i wore my hair in a side braid which turned out fantastic and it was my first one ever on my own hair.
and also, when i went to put in my left earring it wouldn't go through the hole. like seriously? i am nineteen and my bloody earring hole closed up? well anyway, i got the sucker through because i WAS going to wear my feather earrings haha i had to have a couple of breaks though and drink water in between because it was making me feel like i wanted to vomit.
so we took the awesome cake that grace made (i pretty much just oversaw the baking) and went to the mexican resteraunt that i made a reservation at for 7:30pm. so all nineteen of us showed up and our table wasn't ready until ten past freakin' eight! can you believe it.
so we finally ate, then the cake came out which everyone loved, and they sang happy birthday to me which was awkward lol
said goodbye, grace and i came home and then lauren came around and we had a good old night, playing cards, drinking moscato - a whole three litres and eating vodka gummie bears.
and we went to bed around 2:30am.
next post. xo
