Week 1 USA

I hope this post doesn't get too boring because it'll all be about admin.

14/05
Cabbed from home to Changi Airport with cost of $28 =x Ok did the usual checking in and all, then flew to HongKong for transit. Flight from sg to hk was abt 3+ hours. We flew United Airlines. From hk to Chicago, about 13+ hours. From Chicago to Charlotte, another 2 hours. Finally, reached Charlotte at 9pm+. And, due to some screw-ups, some of our luggages were on the next flight, and some ppl missed their flights as well due to the long queues at security, and hence, with all the waiting, we reached the hotel at 1am.

15/05
Walked to Carowinds Amusement Park which was about 20min walk away. It's located on the border of North and South Carolina so we always have to cross the border. Did all the admin at the HR office which lasted one whole day.

16/05 - 17/05
Spent the whole of these 2 days planning for our trip around the East Coast. Went to Walmart on Sunday night. Total Damage: ~$80USD. Stocked up on cup noodles and microwaveable food. bought slippers, court shoes and running shoes. After planning, the total cost of our travels is abt $523USD. Excluding accommodation and food. oh well, i'll earn it back haha. =P

18/05
Left hotel at 0445. To get to Charlotte airport to fly to Newark, and then to Buffalo for the start of our East Coast trip. The plan: Up to Buffalo, Niagara Falls, down to NY, down to DC, down to Miami, up to Orlando, and then back up to Charlotte.
Am at Newark-Liberty International Airport now!! awaiting flight transit to Buffalo. The weather doesn't look too good, hopefully it'll clear up!
