Less than two weeks and I’ll be cramped up in cattle class getting my money’s worth of free dinner rolls and gin & tonics as we make our way across the Pacific ocean to touch down at the famed LAX – I can’t wait. I loved backpacking around SE Asia but America seems like more of a challenge, like this is a place that gets right in your grill and says ‘hey you whaddya looking at’. I’m pretty sure I’ll get mugged, shot at and frisked for drugs before I even get through customs. But I don’t think it’ll phase me – I’ll just be like o wow this is so cool, it’s just like I’m in the movies … yeh!
