End of trip.

Well, I have come to the end of my CA trip. And what a trip it has been. It has been so wonderful to see all my friends and be with my family. I didn't realise how much I have missed it here. It gives me new thought about possibly coming back here for good. But, time will tell, along with a lot of research into my line of work here. So, I head back to London with lots of great memories, a number of photos and hope. Hope for myself in my life. I am happy about who I am and what I am doing, and that makes for a pretty nice life. I will post my pictures at some point once I get back so you can get a glimpse of what I have been doing.

I am also going to do some research into find a place to live that is more my own. I did a little, and found that some bedsits/studios are within my price range, as long as they are inclusive. I just can't live in a houseshare situation much longer. I will update that as well.

A last big thank you for everyone who made my trip so memorable, and I hope it won't be too long until I see all of you again, certainly sooner than 3 years.

Calistoga.

My father and I are up in Calistoga in the napa valley. We took public transport all the way. They have a bus service all the way from Vallejo to Calistoga. I was very impressed by it. We have already been in the hot tubs too. So relaxing. I always used to LOVE coming up here and that hasen't changed. We will be here until Wednesday. It is very hot and sunny. I have been extremely fortunate to have had great weather since I have been in CA. It has been sunny and clear everyday.

Also, I saw a fantastic play at my sister's theater, Theatreworks, on saturday night. It was called Trying. It was a cast of only 2, with the lead guy giving an amazing performance. He is about 74 years old and never let up the whol performance. It was opening night also, which is always a treat. I went with my friend from high school who I finally got to see after nearly a year and a half of instant messaging, texting and phone calls. It was great to see her.

It has been great to see all my friends so far. I kinda didn't realize just how many friends I did have back here. I guess I am more popular that I thought. :) And I still have more to see!! This trip will go real quick, I can tell.

Hello from CA!!

I am now in CA. I arrived yesterday to some nice sunshine. I had a great flight, watching movies the whole time. I love Virgin Atlantic for the fact you get like 50 films to pick from and can watch them whenver you want. You can also rewind, pause and fast-forward. Exceptional. I breezed through the customs (it is so nice to have dual citizenship.) Then got back to my dad's and relaxed. We did go out for a Gordo's burrito last night. Man, that was so delicious. They are still without a doubt my favourite burrito.

I woke up real early this morning, as always happens. Hopefully it won't take long to adjust. I will try to take some pictures with my cool new camera while I am here. I look forward to seeing as many people as possible.

Avenue Q

I had the pleasure of going to the theatre again last night. I gotta take advantage that I am in one of the biggest theatre places on the planet. I went and saw Avenue Q. This play uses puppets, like the muppets or sesame street, but with a adult theme. It was freaking hilarious. The audience was in stitches. And I have to give big credit to the actors, they really brought the puppets to life and sometimes you forgot they were there. Not in a bad way. And some of the things they had the puppets do, well let's just say I won't ruin it in case anyone gets to see it. Amazing. I do love the theatre. And it gives me the chance to dress up, which I do like.

It is also cool I am off in a couple days to SF. I can't wait. I have reconnected with a couple friends from elementary school and look forward to seeing them, even if it means figuring out how to get over to San Rafael. Cool.
