A year ago

Same time last year, I was onboard alone for my first trip to the US. Paolo was there waitinf for me as we planned to celebrate our 1st wedding anniversary and christmas. I was very excited and worried at the same time as it will be a first travel of me w/o someone to fly with! And the thought of being inside the plane for almost 19hours freaked me out just a lil bit!

It was not a plan for me to spend christmas in the states but I think God played His card well for me as I was able to sort the plane ticket and other stuff with no difficulty at all. So at 4am of 18th December, i was onboard for a flight to Narita and then LA!! woot!woot!!

It was the longest 24 hours of my life! hahahaha... i was very excited to see Paolo since we have been away from each other for almost 6 months! My stop-over to Narita was just short, i only waited for 2 hours before boarding the plane that will take me to LA. I was so bored because i did not bring my laptop and there was nothing to do aside from people watching! i tried using my phone's wifi but it was not free! All what i wanted was to have this 2 hours waiting to be over and done with, so i can finally prepare myself for a gruelling 15 more hours flight.

When the plane landed to LA, it all sunk to me that after 6 months i can finally see my husband again! LAX was an old airport to me. It was not the same other new/posh airports i have been into, though i was in the look for Hollywood celebrities :) lol

I gave Paolo all the details of my flight but since i was a newbie there, i exited the wrong gate and i had to walk more to find Gate #5 for Northwest Airlines passengers. I was walking outside the airport building and was wondering where my husband could be since i did not see any other person waiting. The finally, I saw the sign of the airline and there was Paolo waiting for me inside!! He was surprised to see me coming in from outside. I met his cousin Lawrence, and we drove to see his mum and have breakfast!

Lawrence treated us at BJ's and we had this really interesting and mouth-watering dessert called Pizookie after a sumptuous pizza dinner.
