Hi, I am a 19 years old girl and I won 50 000 __Swedish__ crowns. I am going to spend every single cent on this trip to The United States and visit Los Angeles and San Francisco in California. I am going with all of my friends and we are going to have a great time. We have chosen to go to California because we wanted a mix of sunshine and beaches, good food, beautiful scenery, __shopping__ and adventure parks. California offers all of this; Disneyland and Universal Studios in Los Angeles, the Hollywood sign and the walk of fame, Golden gate and fisherman’s wharf pier 39 in San Francisco, and lots of __shopping__ everywhere. This trip is probably going to be all about shopping and luxury, but we will squeeze in as much adventures as possible. This trip will be a big adventure for me, and I am especially curious about the mystery spot where gravity is warped and everything is leaning. I am going to have the time of my life, and come home packed with lots of fabulous new clothes as well as memories. We’re leaving Stockholm on the 4th of June and are back on the 11th, meaning that we will be in California for seven days. I really look forward to this trip because I have never been to California. It seems like a very beautiful place.

**Blogg post 2.** Hi, I have finally arrived at my hotel here in California. This hotel is beautiful, and clean and my room looks very nice but I haven´t looked around the entire hotel, but I am sure it is just as nice. Maybe I´ll show you guys some pictures later. I thought you might want to hear what my day looked like. So this morning at 7 o´clock I had some breakfast and then I went to __Stockholm__ Arlanda to meet up with my friends. We bought some magazines and some candy for the flight. Our plane took off at 10:15 am and at 12:20 am we made a stopover in Chicago. In Chicago we waited for tree hours and 40 minutes, in that time we had some food in an airport restaurant, I had a sandwich with ham and cheese, the sandwich was grilled so the cheese was melted. After that we found a nice place to sit and used my computer and watched a film that I had downloaded. I watched the film “Brides maids”, it is about a girl who just found out that her best friend is getting married, and she is asked to be her bridesmaid. Although she is broke and single she managed to bluff her way through a series of bizarre rituals. It is a really funny comedy that I can recommend. When the movie was over the plane had arrived at the gate so we went to our terminal and boarded. I slept the whole time during the flight because I was very tired from having to get up so early in the morning. When I woke up I looked out of the __window__ and saw that we were about to land. At the airport we got our bags and picked up the car we had rented. When we got the car keys we all went out and packed the car with our bags. Then I drove to the hotel. That took half an hour, and when we got there we went to the reception and got our room keys. Then we took the elevator to our room on the seventh floor. When we opened the door to the room we were chocked because the room was so lovely. It was a huge bed and the bathroom was fresh, and the view was spectacular. It felt like you could see entire San Francisco. So here I am in my bed, just enjoying the moment of just having arrived in San Francisco. I share the room with my best friend Linnéa. We are both very tired but we can´t sleep because we are so excited about tomorrow’s adventure. I will tell you more about that tomorrow. Goodnight. Hello again, I just got back to the hotel after a spectacular day. I guess you want to hear about it. So I started my day by having the greatest breakfast in the whole world at my hotel. This hotels breakfast buffet has everything you can think of. I brought food from the buffet five times and my plate was chockfull all times. My favorite food on the hotel buffet was the American pancakes with strawberries and syrup.

After a wonderful breakfast we went to the city and tooked the Cable car to Fisherman Warf. At Fisherman Warf we walked around and looked in funny shops. Then we went to the most famous pier, pier 39. A great attraction at pier 39 is to watch the sea lions sunbathing and swimming. So we bought an ice-cream and then we just stood there and watched the extremely cute sea lions. After a while it got a bit boring because they were so lazy, they just layed there. We all started to get a bit hungry so we went to a lunch restaurant. I ordered a shrimp salad, it was the best one I have ever eaten. The salad was fresh and the shrimps were newly caught. When we were all satisfied, it was time to continue the day’s adventure. So we walked down to pier 33 and from there we tooked the boat out to the famous prison, Alcatraz. It was a bit scary to walk in the prison. And it mademe thinkof all those whohad been imprisonedthere. Our guidetold us thatonly three peoplehad managedto escape from Alcatraz.

When our tour at the prison was over we took the boat back and now I am a bit in a hurry because everyone was ready for dinner except me - I need to shower. Bye everyone. Talk to you later.

Hi everyone, the clock is 8 pm here in San Francisco. Today was my second day in San Francisco. It was really fun; I learned a lot of new things.

Today we went up very early and drove our rental car to Muir Woods. On our way to Muir Woods we drove over the Golden Gate Bridge. We had lunch in Sausalito, a small art village. I ordered a club sandwich, the sandwich was very good and at the lunch restaurant we had a great view over the whole Sausalito, it is a very beautiful village. When we had eaten and had looked around a bit in the lovely village we jumped into the car and continued our trip to Muir Woods. It is a long way to drive. When we finally arrived at Muir Woods a guide were waiting for us. He was a very good guide and he told us a lot of interesting things about the trees. So we walked around in the woods and looked at the very tall trees. It was so cool and I loved being there. Then I asked him how old they could become. He pointed at a tree right in front of us and told us that, that tree is 500 years old. We were all chocked, because we thought they were like 100 years old.

After a very interest tour we jumped in the car and here I am right now, sitting in the car. We’re having a long car drive in front of us. Luckily I have my computer and I can watch a movie. Good bye everyone, now it is movie time.

Hi, I am sitting on the plane right now on my way back home to Sweden. It is Wi-Fi on the plane so I thought I should do a blog post to you guys. This trip has been amazing, we had so much fun. My favorite memory on this trip was at the mystery spot, where the gravity is warp. We took so many funny pictures and I really had a great time. I laughed during the whole time we were there. My stomach hurt because I laughed so much.

On the way to the airport I realize that I had forgotten my bag. And we were already late for the plane, so we hurried back to the hotel and I jumped out of the taxi and I was panicked because my bag was not standing at the hotel entre. I run inside the hotel and asked the personnel if they had seen a pink bag of mine. They asked me to wait a minute, and after a while he came out with a pink bag and asked if it was mine. Luckily it was mine bag and I was overjoyed. I ran out to the car and we drove as fast as we could to the airport and when we got there it stood that the flight was over an hour late. We spent the time on a café and drank coffee and ate some adorable cupcakes.

I miss my family and my friends so much. When I get home I am going to tell them everything that happened on this trip, every single detail. I know they will laugh at me when I tell them that I forgot my bag at the hotel because I am so clumsy. But they will love all their presents I bought for them in LA. At some point, I would love to go back here but with all my family and all my friends, it would be a great trip. Then I would also save up more money so I could shop some more. ======
