Its been interesting and COLD..... we flew to LA and was a 13 hour flight which was not as bad as i thought... the plane was delayed a bit and therefore we had to "amazing race" it to the next flight LA-NY... we finally got to NY and then was a 1 hour car ride to LONG ISLAND.. we stayed there for a five days.. met other au pairs and went to training school which is a bit boring but good for people from different countries..The food was pretty average  and the rooms were freezing... i was alone for the first night and then shared a room with a German: Jasmin and a Japanese i think Alice. the Australian girls where the only ones there on the Sunday night apart from Nicole and Emma who got delayed and flown everyone before coming to the school on Monday night... almost 24 hours later...

School was really fun met some amazing people and people i know i will be friends for life with.. Argentina is my favorite.. Emilio, Melisa and Coty... they introduced me to Mate, looks like your drinking pot... but its their herbal tea.

on the Thursday we went to New York city which was freezing and rushed but was still amazing... we saw the Rockerfella centre, world trade centre, statue of liberty and many more things from movies... it also snowed in the morning and was the first time alot of us saw snow...

we stayed up late that night and talked with everyone and made the most of the last night there....

on Friday we flew out to our host families and it was good to finally get to a stable house proper food and not have to shower with your "FLIP FLOPS" on... pluggers or thongs...
  
the first few weeks with the family was good.... i was settling in with them really well and met some really nice people Clare and her family are the best.. they take me in on the weekends :)

the snow for the month of February was over whelming and made me not like it... it was hard to get out of the house and do anything therefor me and Adelaide stayed in alot...

well that was the end of January and all of February
