June 10th 2005 by Rickyc
OK, hi to all of you's who made it to my first weblog!! i hope i do this properly and it dont end up looking like crap,
So i started off from Auckland on june 7th 2005, heading for LAX where (i was asked for money almost as soon as i got off the plane) and had an 8 hour stop over and enough time to get out of the airport and and explore a lil bit. I decided to take a taxi to Venice beach seeing as it was sunny as and not a cloud in the sky. I walked the venice beach boardwalk and ran into some crazy ass dude who i had to put up with telling me that "this is where i live!!, on the street player!!!" whilst he sipped his forty ounce from a paper bag and screamed at some other crazies...
but they werent all bad as i also met a "famous to be" rapper whom i bought his cd off for the bargain price of $7.
From LA i went to Charlotte, North Carolina where i spent an hour or so talking to a nice old couple and eating my first american donut.
Then it was the home stretch to Logan international airport in Boston where i was picked up by my Uncle Brian and we set off for home!!!

just down from here i saw like 2 one dollar notes just lying in the sand, i thought it was some kinda joke so i never picked them up.
LAX and lost
so i took another taxi back to LAX and ended up having to walk around the whole airport looking for my termanal, it is one big place!!
