Travel and Day 1


I wont bore you with the details of the flight and stuff. Other than we had this really annoying guy sitting near us and a newlywed couple. In which he proceeded to tell every marriage joke there has ever been.
"Have you heard of the three rings of Marriage?"
"No" the Newlyweds reply
"You have the engagement RING, the wedding Ring and then you have the suffeRING!"
I do admit it was kind of funny, but he wouldnt shut up with the damn jokes.
"I married Mrs. Right, I just didnt realize that her first name was Always."
The video above is what Leo and I did to kill some time on the plane.
Moving on to day one. We are staying with Leo's friend Michelle. Whom Leo knows from New Zealand. To start the day Leo and I had some breakfast lounged around for a bit and then we went for our runs. After that we got ready and went off to the Mall. No shopping spree but something to help get the feel for the locals.
On the way to the Mall we hit so much road work and traffic that is was annoying and frustrating. When we got to the Mall it was empty and that was nice. We walked the mall going from shop to shop and they have all the same stuff that a Long Island mall has. Some of the stuff has different names, but they are all in the same concept. 
After the mall we went food shopping and picked up what Leo and I are cooking for dinner which will be some shepard's pie like meal.
Also for those that are interested we are staying in Loma Linda, CA. It is very much a University town. The University is a medical graduate program that has many different aspects to the healthcare system. Leo's friend Michelle is currently doing study and research in her field of physical therapy. Needless to say she is very busy.
Ok well I am off to make some dinner with Leo. Check back everyday for an update on our trip!
