Just a few notes
Flying into the sunrise. Watching the orange sun soak us in its rays. Seeing the day start. Again.
I saw a time that I had seen before.
Nothing fancy, I just crossed the international date line ;)
Monday morning happened twice for me.
In different countries. 7 so far.
In different continents. 3 so far.
The mood remained the same though. Excited.
First question I asked myself on landing in San Francisco - Is this USA or China????
The number of chinese people you see here, starting from the airport itself, confirms my belief of their imminent world domination.
The first question I was asked on landing in San Francisco - Ma'am, are you here for business or pleasure?
My response - Hi, I'm here on holiday!
The immigration officer... oops, the Federal Inspection Agent I mean, wasnt very amused that I didnt pick one of the two choices offered to me. But I'm sorry... saying I'm here for pleasure sounds kind of corny to me!

" saying I'm here for pleasure sounds kind of corny to me!"
We agree ;-)
WIshfulthinker,
Yes it was a funny experience to truly gain time.
Jay,
Thanks ;)
Wry Moron,
Thanks.
And I think sunrises and sunsets are never corny. But stupid questions from Federal Inspection Agents sure are ;)
Hey
dont forget to try the Ghiradelli icecream in Frisco..it is just too good!!
Enjoy!!
Hehe that line abt seeing something you saw before was just so English August!
Hope you have a very pleasurable trip babe! Hedonism rules! ;-)
It is fun to cross those lines. This christmas I am thinking of crossing the arctic circle :p, lol
P.S -just saved myself from brain hemorrhage trying to put in the 'letters as shown in the picture" for this comment. Blogging is tough, I admit; but commenting is getting tougher as well. :d
I wonder how a hooker entering USA would answer that question! Business, or pleasure? Hmm..
./w
"Monday morning happened twice for me." - Monday morning twice??!!
On second thoughts, I guess, it is okay since you are travelling for 'pleasure' :D
cool.. frisco eh.. have loads of fun..
me craving for a break now
awesome.
Have a truck load of fun!
And snaps.. :-)
san fran is adorable- enjoy.
yes must be very nice to federal inspection agent. i flew back into D.C. the last time - exhausted and a little hungover - first time using the new visa. he looks at it and says - what do you do here? i imagine asking about my employment.
I got nice and bitchy - "I LIVE here."
he did not like that.
SAN FRANCISCO! Of all the places... Welcome to my home! Send her a kiss from me... Enjoy her. She is one amazing chick! In the meanwhile, I am making due in Spain... *Sigh*
I never really thought about it like that, travelling for pleasure heheheheh
Daymm now im going to be thinking that next tem i go through immigration!

Karuna,
Yup, be creative in your replies to the immigration officer :)
You can do that end of the movie scene again.And she walked away into the sunset, into the sunset :p
its been awhile since I have been here. I love how i enter in your blog writing on the wall reminds me of Nizar Qabani an Arab Poet
Totti,
I thought end of the movie scene should be 'they' walked away into the sunset and NOT 'she' walked away into the sunset :)
Iamnasra,
Shukr'an :)
