Tuesday 24 April: 11.20pm EST-USA
SOOOOO excited - the poor Avis Rent-a-Car ladies got a tornedo of me as I literally skipped to their desk!!! I was very happy to see all my luggage come through the plastic screens - I had to put some pretty important stuff in "checked" bags with HUGE "FRAGILE" stickers!!!
 |
| Trying to keep the peepers open in LAX! |
BOARDER Security at LAX was brilliant!!! He actually made me blush - haha, very smooth with ALL the ladies I'm sure (and probably the men too!), but I must say, I took the compliaments and ran!!! Especially after 12hrs on a plane!!! Its good for the soul!!!
AND - 38HRS LATER: HELLO GORGEOUS LEXINGTON KENTUCKY!!!
 |
| BLUE GRASS STATE! |
 |
| ITS ALL ABOUT THE HORSES! |
The flight was beautiful - clear skies from Chicago to Lexington - allowing me a birds-eye view of part of the USA - I do want to take a closer look at Chicago, and I am soooo close to a favourite-city-I-have-yet-to-visit: NEW YORK - I CAN ALMOST TASTE THE STREET VENDOR HOT DOGS!!! But, that will have to wait for another time, far too focused on the season ahead!!
I did want to spin to the Kentucky Horse Park after dropping my gear at my hotel, but I have been having problems downloading my Adobe Lightroom Editing System onto my new baby, so, ended up speaking directly with an Adobe IT man and with his help, I got it installed, the process started at 5.10pm, and finished just on 8pm! Brilliant service from Adobe - and one very happy clicker - this means all my images from now will go through that, with all my images up to this date on my trusty Toshiba for now (only a few more to edit from NZL) - nice and clean!
I quickley leapt into my Blades and went for a ZOOOM - gosh, the ligs were very happy!!! Music blasting, kids on the streets playing basketball, fabulous footpaths (and in suburban Lexington - super-smooth wide streets with no traffic and lotsa fun hills, dips, corners...)...
Then - dinner: hmmm, Arby's - McD's - Wendy's - IHOP - Taco Bell - Burger King - (should I go on? - And need I say - NOT IMPRESSED!!!) - thanks to Sat-Nav, I explored further and found Applebees - at least they offered salads!!! Was pretty darn good too!!!
So: Fed, Watered, Charged, Imported, Downloaded... and best of all - BLADED!!!
Here is a quick look at a few more handsome men that will be gracing my lenses over the next few days:
