It was an awesome experience that I had this weekend when I left for my first tour in the US of A to the gay state, California. Gay here definitely refers to happiness as that was the mood all through out the weekend. I was and am so happy that even today, on a very sleepy, depressingly cloudy rainy Monday, I feel very upbeat.
Its not yet been a month in the US and I have successfully triggered off my travelling spirits with a bang.
The destination was Sacramento, California. Seattle has been the only city I have been in the US so far and so I was having really high expectations for Sacramento. My flight fare was pretty cheap(don’t bother converting it to INR!) and it took just 90 minutes to reach Sacramento. On arriving there the captain announced that we reached there earlier than expected. I guess the traffic was not as much as these guys expected and also we dint get any long signals :p hehe. Neways these flights are the same as the Air Decccans and the Spicejets we have in India but they are a little more spacious and the inflight service is 'packaged' n 'wrapped' in a much better manner that the ones we see in India on an average. I had no issues till the point I reached my cuz' place. The shock of a lifetime(read as 'in a long time') came when my bro n sis-in-law welcomed me aloud at his place. Damn…I felt awesome. I am seeing these asses together under one roof, after 6 long years. Imagine! Wow. I felt soooo exalted.
I reached there on a Friday nite but what the heck…we just enjoed the late nite together man…catching up on all crazy/stupid/naughty stuff that all of us had done. On Saturday, we eft to see the golden bridge I SFO(Sanfransisco). Its like this! A visit to Sacramento, LA, SFO is not complete until n unless u see the Gollden Gate Bridge. I'm sure its like going to the Mysore Palace, when u come to Mysore. It is a must!
It is one hell of a bridge if u ask me. Damn neat and the view is also great. U get to see lotsa sailing boats in the bay, the Alcatraz like an island in the water, and the awe inspiring SFO downtown in the background. All in all..a very pretty picture. But traffic can suck big time.
We also drove to this highway called Route 1. It’s sidelining the ocean. Another awesome view da. For the not-so-interested-in-nature people, go c the movie Basic Instinct. It’s the same place where Michael Douglas n Sraon Stone have a car chase. Wow..speaking of cars, u find them inall shapes sizes n colors- the porsches..the audis..the mercedez' ..the alfa romeos..the aston martins..the lamborghinis..etc etc etc…may be a little far fetched but if u r an extreme car enthusiast, and u luv cars so much in ur life, take my word for it - - u r in for multiple orgasms. Damn…
That nite we came back soon as my sis wasn’t feeling so good and when we reached home we boys started to do something we always do…one of the most addictive boys toys--play station. Heeee haawwwww…there we go again. No food…just pure 100% unadulterated spirits n thrills. We just gamed our way thru the nite. Sunda was a long day…actually we dint c the day..it was noon when we came to our senses…the boyz I mean. We just went out to nearby malls. I got my first haircut in the US. Boy…the technical terms ought to be learnt man…it was pretty confusing though. We could also go n check out the Capitol, that’s where our terminator dude - Arnold a.k.a Governor of california has his ofice. By evening it was again time for our flights and time to get back to evil mondays. But as I said earlier…I am still upbeat. I had one helluva weekend and lotsa cute memories.
