Welcome to LA Bitches...

Well, yes, I am in America now! It all started with a very awful flight from Melb - LA, and I have to say, us Aussie girls didn't have the best streak of luck to begin with! We were suppose to be all seated together, but we weren't :( And I have to say, my seat neighbours were NOT the nicest people in the world! Mrs Snobby Bitch to the right, kept staring at me, my food, my activities, my every move while Ms Silent wouldn't move properly to let me past!

Anyway, when we arrive to the aiport they didn't exactly roll out the red carpet! Every member of staff felt like they had permanent PMS with very intimidating/interrogating natures. So after we dragged through customs/baggage we realised we were running late and only had a short time to make our domestic flight to New York. After a, "final boarding call" we raced to the terminal only to find they had just closed the doors behind us. What was it that Cultural Care had said? "In the RARE event that you miss your flight"....great, lucky us!

So the aupair company and the airport were less then helpful, as we were put on standby for the next avaliable flight to JFK. Our missed flight was at 11am, and the next flight was at 2pm...which we didn't make it on to. Finally at 4pm announcments were made for all but four of the Australia girls, to make it onto the 4pm flight (the four included me!). As we crossed our fingers, they finally announced our names and our reward..BUSINESS CLASS! It was absolutely positutely AWESOME! With lovely leg room and reclining, free dvds, free gourment meals and drinks. Lovely. Just lovely.

Did I mention that some of the girls had their luggage lost? Luckily it wasn't me, but about 5 girls unfortunately did, a drama that wouldn't be fixed for several days later.

As we flew over New York City that night, I was feeling so excited and elated, despite very little sleep and awful delays. We met our driver at the aiport and he drove us to our new home for the week -St John's University's Aupair Training School
