Last stop before home...

I've been home over three months now and well it's been a while since I last posted. My last post was when I was in Arizona. Lots happened in America before I left so i'll start with that first.

Vegas...

My time in Arizona was coming to an end. I had to pack my backs again and I move on. So it was Chelsea's friend, Madison's 21st Birthday... We, being, Chelsea, Stephanie, Megan, Clinton, Derek, Madison and I ... went to Vegas for a few days... we got drunk had fun and spent alottttttttt of money. The first night we decided to go get something to eat. We went to a cool little restaurant I forget it's name now but we had to wait 30-45 mins...for a table so we go up to the bar on the 3rd floor and have a drink while we wait. Right as the pager goes off...one of the barmaids comes up and says 'We need someone to dance for this Bachelorette party downstairs can one of you boys do it?' ... WELL... all the heads turn... to me... DO IT DO IT SCOTT PLEASE DO IT... i refused at first but when there were to Frozen Margarita's offered i could barely turn it down... so there's me giving a lady to wed... oh yeh she was a stranger... a wee dance in the middle of some dance floor around a bunch of drunken crazy screaming ladies... so yeah there's a few pictures to have a laugh at but I'm not gonna put em online so if anyone actually reads this i'll show ya the pics... I got my 2 drinks... and a dollar bill too... anyway after an amazing meal we headed to 50 Cent's night club in the Bellagio... 'The Bank' ... of course from experience in Vegas... it's expennnnnsive... so we get drunk in the hotel room before :)...expensive cover for the guys...girls go free... that's how Vegas is. The following day we had a pool day...chillin' out catchin' some rays... its all gravy.... our plans that night... dinner with the birthday girl then out to Prive... a club in our hotel... again... boys gotta pay cover... girls go free... My flight is early the next mornin' so I don't get crazy drunk but enough to have a better time sober... :) I had a flight to catch the next day. I said goodbyes to Chelsea... in the morning and Megan and Derek where driving back to Az so they gave me a ride to the airport that morning. I had one more stop... and that was Miami Beach, Florida.

Buenvenidos a Miami...

My last stop before home was Miami Beach. Wow was I excited. I couldn't wait but I must say I was nervous... now of course its to be expected...I was living in a hostel with a bunch of people on my own. I'd never travelled anywhere without knowing who I was staying with... I got to Miami airport, managed to figure out where to get a shuttle that would take me to the hostel. I met a girl on the shuttle, forget her name. In fact I don't think I asked her. She was British. Anyway, I arrived at the South Beach Hostel around half 8? I was a little tired. There where a lot of people outside having fun and what not. There was a bar in the hostel along with a pool table and some computers in the lobby. I checked in, the girl was a bit rude and abrupt but then again I couldn't blame her... Some people are just born arseholes and well I think she was. I was in room 123. I shared this room with 5 guys. One Spaniard, Xavi, One Italian, Andrea, One Slovenian, Peter and Two French, Yann and Nico. They made my trip to Miami. They offered beer and where extremely welcome as soon as I arrived and we had a party before going to a bar.

The next day I went to the beach. I normally hate the beach. Not this one. The sand, the sun and well the water was warm like bath water. I got sun burnt. I met with the guys again and played some football while the sunset. I wrecked my foot. It's still sore til this day, thanks Andrea. HAHA.

I went to Millionaires' Row where I saw celebrity's houses. Gloria Estifan, P. Diddy's and the house from Scarface too. Fun. I went out to a few clubs and made a few more friends at the beach who where from Montreal, Canada. My time in the states was drawing to an end :(

Next stop .. Home..

After Miami it was time to go home. It was sad. :( My last few days in America were a little bit overwhelming if I thought about it too much. S0 I tried not to. However there was excitement there. A few hours and I'd be seeing my family again :)

School's Out...

Chelsea took me to her school campus today, first we went to einstiens and had bagels... yum ... cream cheese ... came back to her house and took a nap... Then Chels, Kels and Hemi (Kels Puppy) went to ASU. We took a walk around the campus, which was nice it was a little nippy out but it was nice to see her school. I wish my school looked as cool as that. Tonight we're going out for dinner tonight with her parents. I'm excited... just like old times, anyway I need to go and get ready now.

Merry Christmas! :D

Merry Christmas Everyone :D

Its Christmas :D what a great few days its been here in Arizona. I've been staying in Chelsea's house then for Christmas Eve I spent the night in chelsea's parents house, cos thats where Santa was going :D

Christmas Morning, Chelsea's Grandparents made breakfast yummy and there was a stocking for me packed with goodies. It was so cool to have christmas with another family. It was tough though. I missed my own family this christmas, but i had the support of Chelsea and her family. There was PLENTY of food and drink - lots of fun of course.

Right now though, im sooooo tired so im cutting his post short. I'll have a few pics up soon.

My Bad...

Well i guess i've started slacking in my blog again... sorry about that... anyway alots been goin on... again gettin stuck into work and stuff and well social life as well making alot of friends and alot of great people... enjoying my time and making the most of this experience... but like i said, theres alot goin on... so i'll give you a little taster of wat i've been at the past few days (besides working and getting drunk) ...

A few Sunday's ago was the Office Christmas Party. We went to Asia SF. The food and drink was incredible...kinda worked like family style tapas...in total there was 18 of us...that includes all the office staff and the odd driver and ofcourse guests if people chose to bring...so anyway...Asia SF ok...now if you hadn't realised already that San Francisco is little CRAZY... this post will surely show you...

Asia SF is a restaurant/bar/club where all the barmaids...well arn't maids at all... they were trannys ... you know drag queens... which you see here alot but... these could pass as women...the looked like it (sometimes) you'd be surprised...well until they opened there mouth i guess... anyway our waitress was Vivica lol she was really great craic...they all put on a drag show... wow they could dance... and it was a great night and enjoyed by everyone... awesome experience!

Heres some pics...

I was working the next day so i didn't party too hard... it wasn't too late of a night either. Other than that i've just been wanderin bout the city. Getting the odd bit homesick... but that was inevitable... its getting into the Holiday Season, but next week i go to Arizona ... im goin for a few days so it'll clear my head. I can't wait. Then i'll get home in time for New Years... my plans...are up in the air right now...i hear there's fireworks at golden gate bridge though... so its lookin like that for now. Oh i went to an IMAX movie... ' The Day The Earth Stood Still' it was ok...loved the Imax, but as far as that movie was concerned...it was just ok...anyway i think i'm done bloggin' though i can't help but think i've missed something...so just watch outtttt! :)

Byeeee, let the weekend begin.

One hot, fall afternoon in San Francisco,

Last night I went party...perhaps a little too hardy...had fun though...tired today...but i had a series of errands to run...first off i had to lodge a paycheck into my bank account as there was a mess up with the first payroll...then i figured i'd go get a state id... I needed to get a state I.d. before christmas because i'm goin to see Chelsea in Arizona, and i'm a little bit worried to use my passport since it was dropped in the water so...with the state i.d. i wont need my passport(i don't think) so i went to california DMV to get one...Now i was expecting the DMV to be like the DMV in the Simpsons...you know where Patty and Selma (Marge's sisters) work...and it totally was haha...anyway, as i didnt have an appointment...ihad to wait...an hour... and being so tired i think i fell asleep :S there were hundreds of ppl...renewing their driving license's taking their driving tests... so i applied for that and should recieve it in a few weeks (hopefully) i then went to Alamo Square... i hadn't been there yet ... but i wanted to see the 'Painted Ladies' which are famous colourful Edwardian style houses. They are known to be called 'Postcard Row' and are in the media all the time. The houses were built between 1892 and 1896 and are the few to have survived The great San Francisco earthquake anyway...They were coooooooool... i got pics...and along with them various attempts to set up the self timer so i could get in the picture myself...i then fell asleep on the grass in the sun...now im here in cafe flore...writing my blog... it was incredibly hot today...well for autumn, they call it fall here... cos of the leaves ya know? ... I forgot the lead for the camera tho...so the pics will follow when i get home. Plans for tonight...i dunno maybe a movie...and a few drinks...i dunno :) have a good weekend...if anything exciting happens tomorrow .. i'll be the first to let you know...
