Wrestlemonier

Hello everyone! Had quite the adventure today.
We had an early night last night after having dinner at the eleventh street diner where I had the Southern Style Chicken. It was pretty good, but not all it was cracked up to be. Maybe it was the extreme sleep deprivation shutting down my taste buds though.
Flying is hell. I tried to sleep on the flight to Miami but couldn't so we had an early night and got a decent sleep. Hotel beds really helped.

We accidently had breakfast at The Birdcage (Which is actually called The Carlyle) which was amazingly awesome. My meal was massive and it barely cost me ten dollars. Plustyhe service here is amazing compared to back home I suppose due to the need for tips which, for this kind of friendly help, I'm happy to part with.
We took a taxi into downtown and bought sim cards for our phones which was good, being connectedagainas a relief.
Then we went Wrestlemnia ticket hunting which took us all the was to Sun Life stadium where I also bought the following:
A HHH vs Undertaker shirt
An Edge Hall of fame shirt
A Miz You aren't awesome shirt
A Wrestlemania 28 Jersey
A Wrestlemania hoody
A Wrestlemania ticket Plaque
A CM Punk sign thing

Goodbye money.
We also had lunch at Bubba Gump which, for those playing at home, was a Forest Gump themed seafood restaurant. I ended up going with olx faithful fish n chips but I was well rewarded with a delicious meal.

Then, out of no where, it started raining like a friggin cyclone was coming, torrential.
We ended up running for what I'm fairly sure was the dodgiest taxi on the planet. The guy had a leak in the front which he decided to fix by placing a childs stool beneath it to catch the water, his windscreen wiped was busted and he constantly had to get out and bash to fix it, his bonnet was nearly flipping up and his metr was broken.
Stay classy Guy.

Now we're gearing up to go get some dinner and drinks.

Sling me a comment if there's anything you want to ask me about.
Thanks for reading and happy travels,
Reece

LAX

Dying. My body is dying.
Turns out my 'I can't sleep in planes' theory was true. Running on, maybe, 3 hours sleep tops and getting ready to jump on our last connecting flight to Miami where we can finally rest.

Had my first taste of American food at Burger King and it was as I expected. The portion sizes for a medium meal exceed that of an Australian large.
Also, if you sit on a toilet for too long it autoflushes... It felt weird.

Waiting to get on the plane now and we're all really feeling the effects of long flight times. Rhys has nearly fallen asleep a few times and MJ doesn't even have the energy to get mad.

The airport has no wifi so this blog will probably go up with my Miami check in.

Happy travels,
Reece

The Adventure Begins

Well folks, in a few hours I'll be hopping on a place to Melbourne to catch my transfer flight to the USA!
Whoosh. Fuck plane's. I used to love the idea of getting on a plane. Playing gameboy, eating weird airline food, fighting for the window seat.
Now... fuck that. God damn pain in my ass is what it's going to be. They should have some sort of hammer sedative at the door of the plane so they can knock me out for 12 hours.
A few people have been suggesting some sleep medicine stuff for me but I'm not sure if I will take it or not since the longest flight I've ever taken would be 7 hours tops and that's my only gauge for knowing whether I can sleep on a plane or not.
To be fair, I can barely sleep out of my own bed, let alone in a seat.



For those who don't know, our first port of call is Miama, Florida where we'll fulfill one of my lifelong dreams to attend Wrestlemania! Having the chance to experience the atmosphere and actually see 3-4 of my all time favourite wrestlers is too good to be true. I can't wait to hear the 'You think you know me?' when Edge comes out for his hall of fame showcase and I finally get to see my favourite wrestler (Probably for the last time ever too since he's retired).
Of course, we have to mention The Rock, the great one. I can't say that this wasn't the initial motivation for me to get off my ass, get a job and get my butt to the states. It will certainly be a great show and to see The Rock in action will be another childhood dream realised.

I'm going to try and keep this blog updated as much as I can so people who're interested can track my progress across the country. Let me know in the comments if there's anything you want me to tell you about!

Happy Travels,
Reece
