Finally in America!

After a grueling flight of about 13 hours, I arrived in America. When you fly that long, a strange thing happens to the time. I went back in time to yesterday which was today.  We left Sydney on Friday and arrived in Los Angeles on Friday, before we left. We picked up a hire car at the airport and drive to Santa Clarita. We went shopping, and then had a very early night. The shopping is good. Joggers are so much less expensive here.  

On Saturday, we went to Six Flags, Magic Mountain. Six Flags is a roller coaster theme park consisting of rides that are really fast - one of them goes over 160 km/hr. It has 18 roller coasters including, vertical, hanging, drops, rotating, suspended and wooden. It also has a water park. Six flags is home of the tallest, fastest most looped ride in the world. The park has three sections - bugs bunny world, DC universe world and neutral.


Later I went to a cool restaurant named Denny’s which had a whole menu dedicated to bacon. It even had maple bacon sundaes and milkshakes. There was also a restaurant named TGI Fridays which has been referenced in many movies. Strangely nothing happens when it’s Friday. We were there on a Friday and asked them! They have really good food and bottomless cups, so you get unlimited refills on your drinks and they'll even give you a cup to go (a free drink in a takeaway cup, on the house).




Next we are heading north to Sequoia National Park.

    Hi Joey,
    Glad you all arrived safe and sound. Your posts are great - keep them coming! Six Flags sounds like lots of fun - isn't that where the Glee guys went for their end of year muck-up day in an episode last season? Hope you took some photos of mum and dad on the roller coasters!!
    Say hi to mum and dad for me and enjoy the National Park - no roller coasters there but just as exciting!
