November 20, 2010 is not only the day I will see my cousin but also marks my 1st month in the United States. A celebration that is really worth looking forward to.
For weeks, I have been counting the days. As eager as I was to see dear cousin Joy, I was up as early as 5AM. As soon as we were allowed to go out, I left cabin 4312. Taking snapshots of port 91-92 kept me busy while I wait for my lovely cousin. And, there she was riding a silver BMW (5BKT230) with her husband, Homer Dao, taking care of the wheels. After a nice long hug and exchanges of cheers, we were headed to explore the city.
Thanks to the guys who invented freeways, even though, Port San Pedro is far from our destination for the day, we were able to get there in less than an hour. Our 1st stop, Universal Studios. Weather was not on our side today but it didn’t hinder us from pursuing our plans. Yup, we had our Universal Studio City Walk under the rain and with a very cold winter breeze. Luckily, Joy was a girl scout and brought me some clothing to keep me warm. The photographs taken were proofs that the rain was not a hindrance for us. It was noon when we left the park but we grab some fries and American burgers before we left.
The next part of the day was the most wonderful part. We had an amazing race in Hollywood. In less than an hour, we went, explored and posed in the different tourist spots in Hollywood. Homer was amazingly patient and talented in capturing kodak moments. We were not able to grab a formal lunch in a Thai restaurant down Hollywood boulevard but our stomach did not mind. It was a race against the clock after the kodak fun. However, Homer was still able to show the streets of Beverly Hills on our way back to San Pedro. It was a nerve wrecking last 15 minutes, why wouldn’t it? I will just have to fly to Cabo San Lucas to catch my ship if I wont get back in time. On top of that, I don’t have my passport with me. But, God always provide a way.
