I've now been in the US for a couple of days, but it feels like a whole lot longer. Time crawls when you're forcibly delaying sleep. Jet lag is killing me. I get hungry at strange times, I'm obscenely exhausted... Not fun.
I landed in LA on Sunday morning (14th), having had very little sleep. I decided to check into a hotel and sleep through the ten or so hours before my domestic flight to Orlando that night. The hotel was expensive but worth it for the shower and the bed. The (free!) shuttle bus between the LAX and the hotel was all I saw of LA.
I flew into Orlando this morning and met up with Lucy and Matt at the baggage checkout. I'd been worried about managing to find these two as I still lack an international sim card in my phone. We hopped on a bus and headed for our hostel, which turned out to be less of a hostel and more of a motel - definitely a step up! There's a pool, and a free shuttle bus to Harry Potter World - tomorrow's destination - and free breakfast!
This morning, trying to fight the effects of jet lag and a sleepless domestic flight, I took off with Lucy to locate the Harry Potter World gates. We made it despite the crippling heat/humidity, and spent quite a bit of time browsing in wonderfully air-conditioned shops. I can't wait till we move up north on Wednesday.
Time to end this: I'm using the free wifi in the hostel lobby, and my eyes keep closing. Sleeeeeep.
