America Day 1 - Saturday 5th October

Right, I’ve had all my lectures, sort of unpacked, and I’m now on a three hour train journey to go home for the weekend, so I figured this would be a good time for a catch up! I’m going to tell you all about our amazing trip to America, and I’m going to do several blogs over a few days so that I don’t bombard you with information! Enjoy!

Saturday was the day that we left for America, so we left our house at 2:30am and walked past all the drunken students on their night out in the local clubs! We left at 3am, and it only took us around 3 hours to get to the airport, which meant that we got to check in straight away and through to security.
By 10:30am we were all on the plane, and the best part of the flight was at around 3pm when we flew over Greenland! The views were spectacular – there were countless ice sheets, snowy mountains and blocks of ice floating in water. North Dakota did its best to compete against Greenland, at 8:30pm, with lovely snowy views as far as you could see.

We landed at Los Angeles Airport at 10:30pm or 2:30pm local time and an hour and a half later we were through security and baggage collection. By 4:30pm we were at Los Angeles Travelodge and soon after, most of us decided to go visit Santa Monica, where the views were really cool – a great way to start off the trip!
