We are back home now.We are all tired and not wanting to go to school tomorrow. I had a great time and I would do it again.Yesterday was a good day. We checked out at 12 and we went swimming for 4 hours.We then took the shuttle to the airport and checked in there we stayed in the koru lounge until 9:30 (in LA time). Then we boarded the 747 and took off. On the plane I watched 3 movies and slept for a while. We got to Auckland at 5:30 (NZ time) and we didn't have much time between the two flights.the next two flights were about 2.5 hours in total with 1 hour in between them.We got to Invercargill and drove to Te Anau. it was a nice day and we had a salad for tea.

Well we're back here in Te Anau. I'm bored, but the trip was so amazing that I can't find good enough words to explain it to you.
From being sick on the plane going over to America to my first helicopter flight while we fly over the Grand connon.
From disneyland to Universal studies. From the Rv driving around all day long to staying in a grand Hotel with ball rooms.
The trip was the best and maby the last family holiday with Emily.
I started to cry becouse I didn't want to leave America, I just wanted to live there or even just stay for another month. I just want to go back there.

Well that is not all but I am going to let some stuff for Emily and Nicholas to say to you all.

Well today was really fun! We took a tour around some parts of LA in a van of 11 people.
Only three of the people in the van weren't New Zealanders (including the tour guide/driver) so that was funny.

Some highlights were the Venice beach, seeing the Hollywood stars, seeing some celebrities houses in Beverly Hills and of course getting my picture with the lady pimp off Hung! She was in the Fisherman's Market having lunch with friends so Mum and I went over and asked if I could get a picture with her. She looks exactly like she does on the programme, maybe they used her actual wardrobe for it haha.

Off to Universal Studios tomorrow, very exciting!

Had a great day today and the grand cannon was awesome.
My first helicopter flight was great but it was scary getting on, because i thought i would get my head copped off.
