America

So I actually arrived in the USA yesterday. 12 hours ago. It was such an experience getting here. I got to Manchester Airport to find I needed a visa waiver form. Was a little odd because I went through the whole visa site before I left and it wasn't as clear as it should've been. I managed to get on in the airport but it cost me $14! What a rip off. The flights went well. Both were on time and arrived at the places early and even though I was flying standby, I managed to get window seats both times. The first flight wasn't so scenic until we arrived in Philadelphia, which by the way, is really quite nice. So many trees in such a big city. I could easily live there. The flight to Phoenix was so much better. Apparently we flew over the rockies. I was not impressed if they were actually the rockies. They looked tiny at 30,000 feet.

My first night was a good one. I went to Kristins sisters house with some junk food to be bombarded with questions about where I am from and my accent. Oh and what England is like. It was quite fun. Eating the half a cow I had in a burger was a trial though. I don't think I will be eating again for a few days!
