La La La La in Americaaaaaaa!!!

So here I am in the old US of A! gotta admit its hot here. So the last time we spoke, I was in Heathrow after flying from Manchester... I have had to get an additional two flights since then! I flew from Heathrow to LAX on Wednesday morning on Virgin flight VS0007. There was a large selection of films, TV shows, Radio stations and Albums to choose for entertainment on the flight, and I was seated at the window next to a lovely lady who has family situated all over the world... LA, Jamaica, London, Canada etc. Lucky minx. SO anywho, after landing in LAX I stuck my bag on the connecting flight carriage then skipped off down the road, met a nice man who told me the correct bus to catch to get to the next flight and offered to marry me if I was to stay in the country. Very kind if I do say so myself! I then found myself in the departures lounge of terminal 7 and purchased a 'turkey and jack sandwich with mayo' turns out 'jack' is a type of cheese, learn something new everyday! The hoppity skip onto another plane and I was on my way to Sacramento. This was a joyful ride, because it was over and done with in the time that I had read my copy of heat magazine and there was only one air hostess who was the smiliest person in the history of the world, so 'big up' to you love.

I was greeted at Sacramento airport by Seth and Robin, I got my bags then Heather came and got us in the car.

My first meal in the States was in a Mongolian BBQ, not gonna lie, I've had better food. Came back to the house, chose the double bed and slept.

The next day we did buggar all, this was boring.

Yesterday we went to a little place called 'The dollar tree' and stocked up on items such as shampoo and deo for the b.o and as the name suggests EVERYTHINGS A DOLLAR!!!!Robin and I thought this was hilar and bought everything we could see!

We came back to find that Lucy had arrived at the house and wouldn't stop making any noise!!!!!! So Robin and I went out side and played with her, she was so hot she was using her bowl of water as a swimming pool! So we decided to take her out for a walk in the park. By the time we decided to come back, she was so warm she wouldn't walk and we had to carry her like a baby, was so cute.

Lucy has not yet grown into her paws and consistently falls over herself and walks under my feet, such a pain, but shes so cute you have to forgive her!!

Last night we went to a Baseball game!! Sacramento RiverCats where who we were 'suppoting'

They won which was good, but we'll keep it short and sweet because it was boring!

The game wasn't the most interesting thing I've witnessed, but I made loads of new friends there so job is a goodun.

Also I offended some people, lets just say, my subconscious makes me say things that I never normally would say just to piss people off. It is annoying.

We now have myself, Robin, Alex and Naomi who are both from Australia and today we are getting another girl from the airport who is from Russia, how exciting!

See Y'all soon!!

It's Friday.

(technically its not, its Saturday)

Well hello there... how are you this evening? I'm glad you dropped by actually, becuase I havent done a post for a few days, so I thought I'd just do a quick update on whats going on and what I've been doing!

Im so knackered at the moment, I cant stop going out and partying.. its a hard life..

first of all Taxi Will told me that he cant make it to my Red, White and Blue leaving night out and it was a wednesday night which only means one thing..... KARAOKE WEDNESDAY! yayyyyyyy!! I love karaoke wednesday, so we decided to make that my leaving night out as well!

Then on Thursday it was Sophies night out for her birthday, which I wasnt going to go to but went round to her house before and some drinks, then crash bang and wallop... I was on another night out. It was amazing!! apart from a few hiccups, it was one of the best nights out I've had in ages! The best bit.. apart from being drunk, was spending time in Rustam's car with Sophie screaming Party rock at the top of our voices and banging on the roof, then watching Josh pull Russ's Rear View mirror off his window screen, so so so funny!!!

I've also spent a bit of time with the mother this week which has been nice, Ive genrally been hungover but hey, what you gonna do?

We made a fantastic stir fry yesterday which consisted of, two types of beans, egg noodles, bean sprouts, peppers (green and yellow) and chicken with some sweet and sour coating was delicious!!!

Ive got alot to tell you about, but I cant until after the weekend.. all will be revealed!!

Have a good weekend lovers! xxxx

Hola Chickas....

Well I was having a look around the old bloggers information page, and found a thingy that tells you who has veiwed my page, how they veiwed my page (blackberry, iphone,windows etc) and where abouts in the world they have been veiwing my page from! I thought this was really clever! and also quite stalkerish!

 Its so weird how far technology has come in the past 10 years! When I was younger I remember when the Nokia 3310 came out and it was 'the thing to have' Andy Harrison had the first one (well jel) we would all play snake on them and try to beat each others high score! I then started to remember everything that you want when we where kids... Playstation 1, mini playstaions, the best clothes, seeing Harry Potter before anyone else. Its weird whats important to you when your young, but obviously its going to change as your priorities change and you get older, and watching my sisters want the newest thing and argue about the smallest things and I'd love to shake them and say "its just not important" but I tend to forget that it is important to them. Anywhoooo I thought I'd share a few pictures with you of things that remind me of my childhood!

ahhh this helpful little paperclip from word!



Now this is the story all about how........

Phill, Lill, Tommy, Chuckie and Angelica!

I hope these bring back some memories and feel free to share some with me!!

My first video entry x

My First Vlog...

Well this is awkward.. my first Vlog.. I obviously hate my own voice. So this is cringy, but you have to start somewhere hey! I got cut off at the end for talking to much!

So after recording this I went to check the post, to see that my cousin Sue had posted me $100! This was a happy surprise! Sue had visited New York last year with her husband for her birthday, and had sent myself and my sisters Rachael and Amy some gifts. My gifts included a purse with a $1 in, and a note that said... 'if you ever make it to America I'll times this $ by 100' and true to her word she did just that today!

So thanks Sue and Bill  :)

Love Anna xxxx

Two weeks to go....

Just a quick update...

Hey guys, so there is only two weeks to go until I leave for the old US of A... and I'm not gonna lie.. I CANT WAIT!! AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Ive been waiting for my rucksack to arrive from EBay and that's been a barrel of laughs as it was supposed to arrive on the 3rd may and its now the 14th and it still isn't here..

grrrrrr!

I went to the post office to pick up what I thought was my rucksack today and it wasn't.. it was a bikini which is super cute.. however its from China so an X-large is super tiny! no eating for me for the next 2 weeks!!!

I've been spending alot of time talking to Nicole of thecutefatchick.blogspot.com and she has been making me even more excited than I originally was! so thanks Nic!

I was reading through Nicole's blog and I find her so inspiring, shes a big girl and shes not afraid to show it, so doesn't care what people have to say about her, and she doesn't try to hide it, shes an inspiration and if more girls thought like her the female race would be alot happier... so instead of reading Elle and Vogue click on the link above and read Nicole's blog! On her blog she has posted a picture of herself in her bathing costume which took alot for her to do, and this inspired me to not worry about what other people think about me, so Ive taken a picture of myself with no make up on and I'm going to put it at the end of this blog as step one in 'who gives a shit' lessons!!

I so cant wait to go to America and meet all these fantastic people, and I know it will be the summer of my life!!!

keep posted for more updates!!!

Love Anna xxxx



So.. I'm going to America.

Well here is my 'blog'.. I thought that I would start this to keep you all up to date on what I'm doing and where I'm going on my travels!

First of all I thought I'd let you all know about the process of actually getting to this point...

As you know I normally go to Greece to work in Faliraki on Rhodes Island for the summer months, where I  have spent the last two seasons and made some fantastic friends, so in a sense I'm gutted I'm not going back again this year!

 Whilst in 'Raki last year, I met my favorite friend Jemma.. after arriving back in the UK we were discussing what we were going to do in 2012, and both realised that whilst we loved being in Greece, we wanted to spread our wings a little bit further.

After looking at different places including Australia and different parts of the states, we decided that going through a company would work out better and be alot cheaper than trying to do it all ourselves!

First of all our thoughts took us to Camp America, and whilst that was fantastic for Jemma, with her 50,000 years of child care experience I wasnt good enough for them! Their loss!

After deciding that it was to much like hard work.. Jemma yelled at me, and I decided to try another route.. this is when I discovered CCUSA, after filling out thousands of forms I had an interview and that went fab! I was in!!!! This lead to a long, looonnnnnggg wait to hear from a camp that I had been placed with them!

The news arrived one friday evening as I was getting ready for a night out on the town, so this gave me another reason to party!

I recieved an email from my camp leader Heidi, at Camp Menzies, a girl scout camp, in CALIFORNIA!!!! She said that with my previous experiance in cadets that they would love me to be a Camp Leader, this was brill news for me as I lurvee to be in charge ;)

After recieveing a few bits and bobs from camp, I had to choose which trail I wanted to be on, and I thought the best thing for me was a Performing Arts trail! As I love all things dramatic along with singing and dancing, this suited me down to the ground!

I had to go to London to apply for my J1Visa, so that was an excuse for a night out!

I then had to go to Leeds for a Pre-departure meeting, which is where I bumped into my old pal Laura Tolley, whom I went to primary school with and havent seen for yearss! So that was fun and games!

I am having to fly from Heathrow airport, and my flight is at 11:30am, so the easiest way to do that, was to fly from Manchester to Heathrow on the 29th which only cost £32 with BMI and have booked a night in the Heathrow airport Premier inn for only £39... BARGIN!

I fly on the wednesday morning and land in LAX and will then fly on to Sacremento, which is 2 hours away from my camp.

I am now 20 days away from the start of my journey and I cant wait!!

Feel free to add me on Skype so we can have some cheeky chats when I'm over there, and remember I will be 5 hours behind.
