Birthday boy

Hi it's Flynn. Today is my birthday and I am going to tell you all the things I saw today. First I got my presents. I got :100 dollars, an illusion book, a tile with a lady riding a zebra on it and my favourite present-a glow in the dark glass jellyfish. For lunch we went to a little restaurant called Peanutbutter And co. Every meal there had some peanut butter in it. For dinner we went to an Italian restaurant. I had cheese and pepper pasta but they had a cheese wheel that they melted and put the cheese in my pasta. My Birthday was AWESOME!!!!!!!!

Time Goes Faster in Times Square

Campbell here. Today was our first full day in New York. We spent the day in the area of Times Square and there were so many shops. The first shop we went to was F.A.O. Shwarz (even though that ins't in Times Square). There were life-sized zebras, horses and bears. There was also a giant keyboard and we got a few different photos of J.T. Then we went to Toys R Us and it was soooooo huge! It had 3 floors and a huge section for each thing. It even had a ferris wheel. Inside! We also went to the Disney store, M&M world, (where you can make personalized M&Ms!) and Chocolate world.

Sydney

Flynn speaking here. It is the first day of our trip. We drove to the Sydney airport,but while we were driving we saw a blue and white car that had heaps of support for the bulldogs (football team). It had about 50 stickers of bulldogs and even had a blue and white furry cover inside! we have finished the flight and are in San Francisco. I am a bit sad because my birthday has to wait an extra day because we crossed time zones. I am just saying to one of my BFs Julian. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Next stop USA

(Josh) One week till to go till the least exciting part of our 2012 trip - the plane flight. It tops off going through a boring airport with bad food. (Flynn)The bit I am looking forward to is waking up in New York on my Birthday! (Campbell) We have a koala bear from Jayes Travel that is coming with us. If we take photos with the bear in interesting places we can win $2000 of travel money.
