SUMMER ain't over!

Hey fellas! I just got back from my summer holiday :) It was a blast! Would love to share it with youuuu hehehe
Me and my family went to the US for a month to spend the summer on some of the West Coast cities. *We LOOVE summer! YEAH*.
My dad is definitely proper to be called a spontaneous person. He told me to apply for the US Visa just about a month before our departure date. It was like 2 years ago when I was accidentaly happened to be the last person told that we're going to Europe. But applying US Visa in my country (Indonesia!) isnt that easy. Lots of people who have the best preparation got rejected. So I was kinda nervous that our Visa Application will be rejected but God really works His way upon us. Our Visa was granted and we even got the 5 year entries. Yihuuu :))

Days of busy preparation started right after that. Booked for hotels, tried to find the best apartment to rent in Los Angeles, rent a car, and stuffs like that. Fortunately, my cousin is working in LA and her boyfriend works in a traveling agency so yeah that helps a LOT! :) *heart you guys

My ultimate funtastic plan was to spend a week in LA then off on a road trip to San Francisco, San Diego, Las Vegas!, and finally..... (tada drumroll) the happiest place on earth... Disneyland!!

Berencana memang gampang, tapi merealisasikannya tentu saja nggak semudah itu. Masalah pun mulai datang... tears.

Firstly, all the hotels i planned to stay were full! We (my cousin n I) had to recheck the list and find more hotels which will be available during my visit dates. Hilton was all full and the one in SF even triple their price due to a convention held during my visit. Sigh. And we have to book two rooms cause there are five of us :
Secondly, the apartment rentals were fully booked! The houses on Santa Monica, where I really wanted to stay have all been booked like six months before. That's why you better prepare really early if u want to get the best deal babes.
Thirdly, My PROM NIGHT was on 6th July! which means I have to get back before that date. I have to go to prom. prom is an important night of a girl's life, i cannot missed that and i wont. But the return ticket was printed July 13. Gosh I know that my dad would get mad if he knew. (So i talked to mom :p)
And the problems went on and on..

But relax! I know that 'we got situation here' will turn out to be 'everything's okay' at the end of the day :) Remember that hard things are put in our way not to stop us but to call out our courage and strength (i found that somewhere when i was reading something)

So first problem was eventually solved! My sister's boyfriend even got us some best deals, especially on the hotel in Anaheim. Ha! And the one we stayed at San Francisco wasn't bad either although the parking was full and we had to walk a bit. Las Vegas' hotels were awesome! we managed to get us rooms at Wynn and Palazzo. I know, those are wonderful hotels with great rooms, decorations, shopping arcades, casino, clubs, bars, oh and buffets :)
Then my sister found this lovely three rooms apartment on Beverly Hills which is on Arnaz Drive. Yes, it is only one block from Robertson Boulevard. Kitson - time to shop! xx And its pretty near to Santa Monica, my favorite spot in LA. The place was clean and tidy and decorated with cute stuff. Thanks for the owner of the apartment and my sister! Hugs hugs.
And daddy finally changed the return ticket to July 5. Yeay! Thanks to my wonderful mom! Btw I'm not really close with my dad sometimes I even scare or feel nervous to talk to him. Don't get it wrong I'm not scared because he's freak or something. It's just that I respect him. Too much respect like a soldier respects his commandant or a student respect his professor. LOL i don't know how to compare it but you kno what i mean right. But I know he loves me even though he got his own way of showing it like almost always give me what i want and let me do things i like.

That, was just the beginning of my trip. The hectic days of preparation. Ehm, i was bit confused to decide what clothes to bring. So i just packed like 24 outfits on my pretty big blue suitcase. Who's been with me since last year, Hi suitcase. I'll share the rest with you all later on mmmkay? Thanks for reading! xx

Off to bed.
