Thursday, 30th August
Got free Japanese food at Heathrow (a London airport) thanks to them sending my special order to the wrong table. Plane didn't have per-seat air conditioning, so that sucked a bit; flight was about seven and a half hours. Spent freakin' ages waiting for my bag at the airport. Got pulled over by security and got my bags searched, AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHY. Couldn't tell if the second customs guy (who searched my bag) was snarky or just rude. Douche. Hot in the States! Had my first Taco Bell in ages! Was awesome!
Friday, 31st August
Went to the beach, today! Didn't go far into the sea (only to knee height), due to the wind being too fast. Still, enjoyed the sun! Managed to get burned on my left leg and right shoulder, though; ugh! Going to Manehattan tomorrow! Gonna visit (among other places) Times Square, the Nintendo World, and the Rockefeller Centre! Yay!

Wouldn't read too much into having your bag searched. From what I understand, random checks are standard procedure these days, to avoid "profiling". On the plus side, what did you get at Taco Bell?

@ Sugar - I got a quesadilla! You can't get them over in the UK (neither Taco Bell) and it kicks ass! @ Marble - It was SO FREAKING BUSY, AND EVERYONE WALKS TO SLOW. But was fun! Hard, butt fun!  |

Saturday, 1st September
Went to Manehattan! Was so freaking hot! And humid, too! Tried to go to Ground Zero, but it turns out you need tickets to attend! Ironic! Went to see the Brooklyn Bride, which was perdy! Malls were nice and cool. Saw some fun stuff! Went to the Rockefeller Center and visited the NINTENDO WORLD STORE! Got a bunch of Kirby plushies (Kirby, Meta Knight, King Dedede, and Waddle Dee), as well as a Bowser and a Goomba plushie! Was sad that the Toys 'R Us at Times Square didn't have ANY pony stuff! UGH! Plus, loads of slow-walking fatasses walked insanely slow. Wanted to hoofslap them all! Oh, and had lunch at an awesome place called Bareburger! Wild boar! Mmm! Overall, a good day, but very hot, very humid, and my legs are feeling horrible.
Sunday, 2nd September
Had a lay-in today! Went to the mall and found OMIGOSH PONY STUFF! I got a Rainbow Dash mini-backpack, non-pony rainbow suspenders/braces, a Doctor Whooves shirt, a Derpy shirt (Derpy in her paper bag wizard outfit, along with the words 'Derpy is best pony), I think a Rainbow Dash shirt, aaand a Mane Cast belt! WOO! I can't remember if I got anything else, asides from a London Symphony Orchestra CD (playing hits from the Rolling Stones, Queen, and ABBA). Not sure if we're going out for food tonight, but I hope so!

Also, the Yanks here use an air-raid siren to summon volunteer fireponies. EVERYTIME I HEAR IT, I INSTINCTIVELY JUMP, BECAUSE I THINK I'M IN SILENT HILL.

You're going to have to get used to people getting in your way here, unfortunately. We Americans have mastered the art of not caring about anyone's direction except our own.

Date and Day Unknown
Just returned from a Skywash! Somewhere Southwestish of Washington DC. DC was exhausting! PHEW! Went to a bunch of awesome museums and saw a bunch of monuments and wore out my poor hooves! Bought a load of awesome stuff. Will update with places and more detail next time I'm on a full PC; this coming Sunday! Using a laptop is hard for my hooves. 6.9
Many Skylove and Skyderps!
