Penelope We will be very quiet to Penelope about this mall blog - she will not find out via word of mouth about all the exciting clothes in store for her! But I imagine if we did tell her we may just get some slobbery bubbles in return. Latest trick - blowing bubbles, sticking hand in her mouth then touching your face. Lovely.
Penny and the cactus Very very cruel to put a poor defenceless blue penguin in the middle of a cactus!!!!!
Glad to see the authorities locked Gary up behind bars for his cruelty to Penny!!!!!
Love, Cay.
Vegas Have you still got your money or have you tried your luck gambling? Did Penny have a desire try the slots? Keep safe and think about us all back at school again while you live it up.
The Penguin The penguin is a mascot given by the school to take with me for the holiday. My job is to give it as many as adventures as possible. And you know what the camera does it always adds 10 lbs. Trish and I usually order 1 meal and share it.
go uncle whats the go with the penguin darl ? your getting well rounded hey hony watch those upsizes in america we have to roll ya home stay safe godbless hope ya both absolutely loving it
Looking like a great time Hi Gary and Trish
Finally got back to school to check my e-mails although your blog hasn't made it any easier. Obviously you are experiencing the best and the worst of what's on offer. You be careful out there! Look forward to hearing more stories at our plg dinner on the 12th. In the meantime keep on exploring.
Cheers
David
lol I wonder whos writing the entries, dad, I like the creative spelling. Venice beach sounds curious, I'm pretty sure it was the set for Baz Lurhmans romeo and Juliet. But yeah would have been scary in that sort of atmosphere.
I will support your Oamaru precinct expansion. If it could look like Solvang, wouldn't that be amazing. Looks beautiful. Were you even a little tempted to hire a mustang, ferrari or some other huge US motor home?
Enjoy the rest of your travels
Car for Penny? We're enjoying following your blog :) It looks like you're having a great time. Still no photo of PP with Steve Jobs?
Also - I'm hoping you mean the car is for Penny the Penguin...
Claire, Phil and Penny
Solvang - Getty etc Aren't ribs amazing? But then so is everything you're seeing. Americans do things on a grand scale. Make sure you see everything you can and thanks for the blog.
Los Angeles Lol, glad to hear you decided not to shame the gym junkies in Muscle Beach with a display of Kiwi virility (lol)... Sounds like a great destination for entertainment-seekers. Shame about the ongoing homeless theme -- and to think many were probably functional before the GFC. Oh, and
I like the foilage dinosaur, very creative.
Holiday looks like fun! Hi Mr Shirley, the photos you have sent through of your holiday look fantastic. Penny is obviously getting to see some really cool things. Hope you continue to have lots of fun. We look forward to hearing about the next part of your trip. It was very cool that Mrs Shirley finally got to go to the Tar Pits. Travel safe. From Kate & Ems
G'day Hi Guys
Great photos. Seriously envious. Thank you for not taking your short off Gary and revealing the inadequacies of us less endowed men. Soak up the heat - it's snow to 400 metres tomorrow here!
Hi J and whanau Having a great time. And I think it is a kids paradise at Disneyland but Mum and Dad would enjoy it too. Have a lovely holiday won't you. Mr S
Ouch Hey the people here couldn't be kinder and more helpful....but the food is straight past the lips and onto the hips type. There are healthy options but they aren't always obvious. Love to you all......They love the penguin.
Papakaio School Hi Mr Shirley;
You look like you are having a great holiday. We are going to Disneyland in 2 years it looks fun. Papakaio Slungers won the fair play award trophy; so we were happy about that. We had a great last day watched movies and did art. Hope you enjoy the rest of your holiday.
From Jack W
Hi Mr S,
Do you both feel thin yet?
Are Americans as ignorant and thick as we are commonly led to believe and do some of them really vote for such a right wing government. have you pursuaded anyone to turn to more socialist ideals yet.
What's the most American piece of food you've consumed so far (triple fried chicken skin chips, hex-a-bacon-burger, double cola,)? Eat an apple pie for each of us and a bucket of fried chicken. The penguin is cool but the real Penny gives kisses and kills octopi.
We'd like a photo of PP sitting in a greasy spoon. Next to our apple pie.
And another, with an American beauty queen
And another with Steve Jobs
Phil and Claire and Penny
Hi all Trish and I are off to America on a sabatical to recharge our batteries, learn heaps and broaden our horizons. We are looking forward to our adventures.... full info
