My Bum is Numb

Yes, my bumb is numb after 15 hours on the plane from LA to Sydney. The good news is that I made it to Sydney, however, safe and sound! The flight actually wasn't all that bad, if you can believe it. I watched two movies, Iron Man 2 (I was in the mood after my friend Dennis told me about the ridiculously incredible time he had at Comic-Con) and Date Night (Mark Wahberg without a shirt on. Need I say more?), and slept a whole lot, without the help of drugs might I add. I got lucky because a) I had a window seat and b) there was no one sitting directly next to me. As a result there were double the pillows, blankets and space so I made myself a pretty comfy bed set-up and sprawled across 2 seats. That's pretty much as good as it gets in the economy section. Those lucky blokes up in first class had actual beds to sleep in, which just doesn't seem fair. It should be law that all persons have a right to a bed on flights over 10 hours long.  Get on that Obama.

There was a guy at the end of my row in the third seat, but he was cool. He was from Texas. At least he was cool for a texan. He was on his was to some lil town outside Sydney to work on pipes of some sort (I didn't really follow, but it was work related). Mr. Texas snored occasionally, and there was another guy a few rows back with a horrible sounding "I'm-a-smoker" cough. Fortunately, I brought my earplugs to block em out. The only thing they didn't block out, for some odd reason, was the sound of food packaging crinkling. Seriously, all night you just heard people opening the complimentary packages of food goodies the airline gave us. It sounds stupid, but these things were like flies- small, but super annoying.

Going through customs was almost more annoying to deal with than the actual flight. It was hot, there were tons and tons of people, and it just took forever. But alas, I made it through, found my way to the youth hostel without any trouble, got my room and freshened up. The hostel has a pool on the top floor. And a movie room. Random, but cool I guess. There are 2 blond, German girls in my room. They are 18 and 19, really sweet but not gonna walk away besties I sense. I feel like I am in a college dorm right now. Certainly looking forward to when I have my own place!
