Ok so the last time i wrote a blog was the 4th of july, so thats thursday friday and the flights to catch back up on

Did Nothing and packed
Saturday:
Packed and ate KFC and then headed to the airport. We got the 10 o clock flight to Newark and arrived on
Sunday: arrive in beautiful new jersey just before morning and jogged to the next gate where we got the flight to heathrow. We flew back with virgin again and it was brilliant and so comfy. they really are the best. we even flew over carrigaline on the way back.. it was crazy.
Arrived in london where we were held up for an hour cause of a loack of a parking spot
and then got stuck in border control for a while and then had to jog to terminal 1 where we soon discovered that the plane to take us home hadn't even arrived and the gate was due to close in fifteen minutes. Eventually it arrived and and we borded but ended up being an hour late and arrived in home at 1 o clock and then had to go to bed to be up at 7 for work at 8. and thats my news all sown up.
till next time so long

4th Of July

So independence day huh? seems lik a mini paddys day. we rose about 12 and had breakfast before we started drinking. around half 3, when everyone was ready, we headed to the beach and my god was it packed. i heard this morning there was 600,000 people on the beach at the same time. it was just wierd, everywhere was tents and marquess and among all the american flags/confederacy flags was a solitary irish flag. like a beacon amid the storm. so migrating to it we discover just about everyone we know is there and already very drunk. there was a few guys on either side of the marquee as border patrol, if you ain't irish get the hell outta here!!!! i could only stick about an hour and a half/2 maybe before i just wanted to get up home and shower really badly!!! so as i came out of the shower the rest arrived with the party and we really let loose. the beer was flowing, the songs were singing and no sign of the threatened landlord appearance or our adopted supervisor! the house is perfectly placed with all the foot traffic on the way to the beach and back from it! so the crowd was rocking as they were going past. eventually everyone was getting tired and needed bed so bad the crowd was sent off and beds were crashed into!
But we were woken by a desperate cry of get out, quick the landlord is supposed to call soon!!!!!
so still in a daze and last nights clothes we bundled out of the house and escaped to one of the lads house, who happens to have a pool nearby so it was a good way to recover in the pool and jacuzzi before chillin in the house and i'm only "home" about an hour. great day!

So quiet day huh?

Very normal day here. all we did was go to the beach and then came home and stayed here. i went to the shops to get my grub for the next few days but thats about it. Plans for next week include
4th of july celebratory party including Kegs and cans

Padres Game to go to on thursday hopefully

and then pack for home. cause to be honest we would go a bit crazy if we stay here all summer, like i've been here for only a week and i'm a bit bored of the whole get drunk go to sleep get up go to beach come home get drunk go to sleep etc etc!!!! at this stage home seems lik a great idea, cause two weeks is just enough of america for me to take right now.
My revelations and observations on america i'll save till one of the last days cause i'm still constructing them, plus i'm still seeing new stuff.
Till next time, later!!!!

Seaworld

So we went to seaworld yesterday and it was pretty cool! there is so many shows and such that if u were that way inclined you could spend all day there just going to shows, queueing up, see more shows, queue up again and so forth! its a wierd feeling there tho cause its not really an aquarium or a wildlife park, its more aqua-disney, instead of Mickey Mouse, you have Shamu the whale.
we went to the big show at night, Shamu Rocks, and it was unreal! seeing these huge Killer Whales leaping out of the water about 10 or 12 feet and spinning around or doing somersaults. they even are trained to soak people including us as we had decided to sit up the front in the "Soak Zone". we thought we had gotten away with sitting so close until about 30 seconds left of it, some trainer sent one of them over to our section to soak us with its tail as it flicked water twice and then dived straight down and then straight back up to spit water right on top of us!

All in all it was an amazing day.
Oh and americans don't get bored easily, i saw a mexican wave kepp going round for a good 10 minutes, it was ridiculous!!!!
