Arrived in USA - I'm now an International Traveller!

I flew V Australia and arrived within a few minutes of the expected arrival time.  The first few hours were ok, because I watched Freakonomics, The Social Network and Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps.  After that though I couldn't sleep either.  I tried real hard but in the end could only manage to sleep for an hour or two.

After I arrived, I had to sit at LAX airport, waiting for my connecting flight that got delayed because it was late getting in from Boston.  I only had a $US20 note that I got paid with for a job I did and ended up getting some food at Burger King. 
When the flight to Las Vegas finally left a little after 2:15 PM, I fell asleep almost immediately and problably only started waking up when the plane started decending.  I felt much better for the sleep.  As soon as you get to the Las Vegas Airport, you a comfronted with what the city is known for.  I could have played the pokies within a few minutes of getting off the plane - at the airport.

After a bit of searching I found a shuttle bus that could take me to where I was staying, and finally checked in.  I crashed on the bed for a few hours then. Tomorrow, I will have to find a place that sells t-mobile sims so I can get my mobile working.  In the mean time, I have just been using my voip account on my laptop - which has worked fine when I had an Internet connection to my laptop.
