Where I am!

So I'm in Florida! And this is just a quick note to let you know what I'm up to here (and have been doing since my last post). After exams I went traveling with Mom and Dad and our friends Heather and Hugh for a while. I flew up to Monterey Bay (just below San Fransisco) and met them there. We then drove across to Yosemite for a few days in the snow and then headed down to Vegas via Death Valley. Vegas is unbelievable! It's a complete tribute to excess (our hotel was a giant, black-glass pyramid). We also did a day trip out to the Grand Canyon which included a helicopter flip over the Canyon itself. It was spectacular! Mom and Dad then spent a week or so in San Diego with me before flying back to SA.

I only go back to University on 22 January so my roommate, Sarah, and I decided to go travelling! We've been in Orlando for the past 5 days and did Disney, Epcot and Universal as well as Pleasure Island! Today we spent the day at the Kennedy Space Centre which was awesome and tomorrow we're hopefully going on an airboat ride through the swamps before heading off to Miami for 3 days.

Unfortunately I managed to lose my camera on an enormous rollercoaster at Universal and I don't have much hope of seeing it again owing to the fact that it was high, fast and mostly over water. So I can't promise too many pictures from this trip but I will put up pics from traveling with the parental units as well as give you way more details about my traveling adventures!
