Finally, the post of crazytrips
Right, so. Weekend before Easter, my cousin Emma flies out to California to see me. She's 15 and it's her first time flying alone.

Good News, Bad News
It's a tough day to be happy, so I'm trying to be moderately happy.
See, I just found out that my cousin Emma gets to come out to California to visit me for a four day weekend around Palm Sunday. I've been working on this for about two months, off and on, and she finally found a way to come (it involves her mostly un-involved father buying the ( Read more... ) -
