Orange Vale, America, October 16th 2009
At 9 in the morning, we checked out and put our luggage in the van, also Jamie‘s and Shep‘s…. They didn’t travel with us, they had a plane to catch. 7 hours drive to go to Orange vale…. Poor Ozzy was driving a very long boring trip and the ladies (all 3 of us) slept the whole trip).

Another short trip to LA…. This time, both of the boys were in our van today and Emma Jones. (She and I never wanted Rachel there). Miss Pope joined Rachel.
We heard on the After show last night that the boys were staying at the same hotel as we did. NICE! We didn’t see them though. Anyway… time to go to LA…
We arrived pretty early…. Rachel dropped Emma off and went to her own hotel/motel/hostel. We were staying in the Wilshire Plaza hotel on Wilshire Boulevard. We checked in. The guy from the reception lied to the ladies. He told them that they had the best room with the best view. They were looking at Downtown LA. I believe that Ozzy & I had a better room. We had a view at the Hollywood Hills.

Ted was staying in the same hotel in Solana beach as we were.
On Twitter, Mike wrote he was looking for the hotel. Rachel told him how to get there. We had breakfast, Emma, Emma & Rachel joined us. They didn’t have breakfast, but they were sitting next to us. It wasn’t a normal breakfast with cereal, pancakes, donuts, bagels or waffles, but we had to make our own cheeseburger. Not sure if I like this for breakfast.

Ozzy & I took the train from Bloemendaal to the Airport. We arrived in America on October 10th flight was a nightmare. The plane left Amsterdam 1 hour late, so from the 3 hours that we had to transfer in Washington we had 2 hours left.

Ozzy and I woke up really early, my brother Paul picked us up from Bloemendaal and brought us to the airport. Bless him. He had to work there. We didn’t have the tickets yet, hope it will be OK at the festival with our order confirmation. Ted said it would be ok.

On Twitter I asked Mike what to do: Rock Werchter or Newquay? Rock werchter was on July 3rd. Wireless was on July the 4th. I already booked everything for Wireless. Might have been a struggle to get from Belgium to England in time for both festivals but I would have tried, but Mike’s answer on Twitter made me change my mind.
Emma said to me, READ TWITTER NOW!

The night before the gig Laura, Ozzy & I took the train from Bloemendaal (train stop is only 3 minutes walk from my villa) to the airport. We flew to Liverpool, John Lennon Airport. We stayed in Holiday Inn Express hotel there, as we arrived very late. We rented a car last night.

Ozzy & I went from Bloemendaal to Dusseldorf early in the morning to go to a camping and set up the tent. We found the Strandbad Nord Unterbacher camping, we set up the tent and it started raining a lot. We still had to bring in our sleeping stuff. Oh well after a few minutes it was dry again and the sun was shining. So we could finish it. In the meanwhile, I had contact with Laurence, She let me know that Laurie wouldn’t join us, as she didn’t feel too well, Laurence was coming alone. At about 1pm we arrived at the festival, and I text Laurence to let her know where we were.
