Ramya in Wonderland

Finally a hardworking week was over and I was going to go to LA with zero anticipation about how good Disneyland was coz' I never had time to even think about the weekend during my week. My mind was just overflowing with work I need to finish plus get the car deals done. with both of them getting done only couple of hours before I was leaving to airport, I really did not get time to browse about Disneyland. I assumed it was going to be so kiddish and was a place only for kids. But for me the whole motive for the trip was to meet my mama and family plus my my cuzins. For instance, it was 5 years since I met vinnu and 4 years since I met vivek. though it was only 2.5 years since I met mama and family I still wanted to see surya and lachu as I very well knew they would have grown drastically. With just this anticipation of meeting my relatives I left at 4pm to airport and it too 2.5 hrs for the flight to take off. With my friends ali and vivek being great photographers, I was so very inspired in photography. From the time ali got his D-SLR, he has taught so many photographic terms to me. Not stopping there he also put atleast 50% of his enthusiasm in photography inside me. With that, the frequent chats with vivek about photography and the way he takes pics and edits them..made me really serious in it. If not amazing in taking pics like them, i was atleast started and I think passed kinder garden level. Lot more to compete and complete but I am working on it. So all the while in flight I was just reading through my camera manual and got to know each and every feature of my camera...with my tiredness would have slept a bit but ali's RTFM sounded back to my ears..so I took my cam out and tried every feature they explained me by taking pics of my co- passengers..Oh yeh I forgot about the trip..sorry I have an habit of easily deviating from the topic..So yeh 3.5hrs completed pretty soon since I was totally occupied in flight and finally landed in LAx..and hey to my surprise vinnu's flight landed same time and his gate was pretty close to mine. I collected my baggage and since Vivek's was delayed by an hour [ had my BB 8820 with my GM software on it..helped me a lot in flight status..], we headed towards the rental bus stand and boarded enterprise rental bus and went to the rental agency..wow was so nice meeting vinnu after so many years..he was changed a lot. The enterprise guy later gave a mini van with 8 passenger capacity, buy vinnu and I found a better SUV which looked more muscular and nice..so we paid more and went for it. It was a 2008 Chrysler Aspen. Again my BB was put into use and we headed to LAX to get vivek and mama's family whom reached his terminal by then. Finally finding the terminal I just got down from my car and ran to mami and hugged her it was a long time...Lachu came running to me..she is 10 years younger to me but her thoughts were way matured than me..oh my god she was taller than me..i have known her since I was 10..she was like my very own sister..actually 1 person I could say who followed everything I did right from her childhood..to my surprise she still is like that. Suryaaaaaaaaaa my god he is over 6 " and very much well built..did not expect to c that..but it was funny when he often came and stood next to me just to irritate me saying how shorter I was when whole family was taller around me..We then left teh airport to our hotel. I shall continue the rest as a separate blog!
