Happy Monday from Myrtle Beach!
I left home on Saturday morning. It was very sad saying goodbye to Ted so I didn't really because I thought I would cry.
We had lunch with Toby and Haidee and Lucy and then I went around to Lucy's house and had a snooze in front of her fire because it was bitterly cold Canterbury day. At 4 o'clock Pete told me to the airport where we discovered I was not only stopping in at LA I was also going to Chicago en route to Myrtle Beach. It would take me an awful long time but luckily Pete had bought me head cancelling headphones to help me sleep.
I watched two movies between Auckland and LA something I never time to do. I also slept for about 6 hours. The Bose headphones are amazing and shut out all the plane engine noise. When we arrives in LA it took me ages to get through immigration and I always know someone somewhere and ran into Eric Martini several times in the queue. The world is a village when you think of all the millions of people in the world and there is someone from Runanga!
I was able to go to a hotel room near the airport to have a shower and something to eat before setting off in a shuttle bus to get to Terminal 7 ( LAX was a bustling city itself even though it was midnight.) I flew to Chicago and then I caught a smaller plane to Myrtle Beach.
Myrtle Beach is very pretty with lots of palm trees and condos but I am yet to see the beach!
I went to register this afternoon and went to a supermarket to buy food for breakfast and lunches. The fresh fruit is yummy! For dinner I had a fish platter and there was enough for at two others. Tucked up in bed now and looking forward to attending the Innovative Institute Conference tomorrow. You should see the wonderful Scholastic Book display Mrs Costello. Sadly I don't have any spare space in my suitcase.
I hope you are all well and showing 'The Grey Main Way'.
