The 12-hour flight to LAX went surprisingly well - mostly thanks to the in-seat-entertainment, good food and the "sky coach" (3 seats that can be turned into a double bed.) However, as soon as we had landed we felt like leaving again. Customs were a nightmare and we felt treated like cattle.
A dog "discovered" our apples in a bag, so the officer made a note on our form, asking us to hand them over once we got to the end of the line. That line was so long, that we had plenty of time to eat apples, which of course caused slight troubles later when asked to hand over the evidence. It took us over 2 hours to get into this "land of the free".
Once at the hotel, which was spacious and nice, things started to lighten up again. After a looong breakfast the kids and I made good use of the swimming pool, while Axel went to get the RV, which will be our home for the next 3 weeks. The rest of the day went to unpacking, shopping and finding Disneyland. The latter was a real challenge, since there are no road signs! The kids fell asleep in their seats and we were glad to find a parkinglot with RV-lots of which just 2 were taken. We were turned away because we were not old enough (Pensioners only!) but eventually we did find an RV-park that would have us. Tommorow we will visit Mickey Mouse!

Hallo Ihr Lieben,
ReplyDeleteschön, dass ihr im Land der unbegrenzten Möglichkeiten so gut angekommen seid. Kennt ihr "Antonio im Wunderland" von Jan Weiler? Ein sehr amüsantes Buch und Hörbuch, bei dem der Autor von einer Reise mit seinem italienischen Schwiegervater nach New York berichtet. Die Einreise gelingt dort mit noch größeren Schwierigkeiten. Das Buch ist eine beliebte Geschichte für uns und die Kinder bei der Autofahrt, wobei es für eure Drei vielleicht noch nicht ganz verständlich ist.
Viele Liebe Grüße aus dem kalten Deutschland und viel Spaß bei der Reise,
Tilman, Trixy, Jonathan und Annika
