Scrapbook text

So I'm working on my scrapbook and I'm doing the text for a lot of the pictures and I'm stuck. I know what I want to say, but I don't want it to sound too cheesy, but at the same time I want it to be cute. lol

This is what I have. Tell me what you think.

On September 5th, 2007 I embarked on my cross-country Greyhound Bus trip. My parents, Mary & Richard Elliott, dropped me off at the Greyhound Bus Station in Downtown Los Angeles and after a wait of about 45 minutes, I was called to board my first bus.

I'm a US Citizen thank you very much!

Hola Texas and September 6th!

In El Paso, I changed buses for the first time. It was a very scary and exciting time. Despite it being 3 am, well really 4 am when we got back on the bus again, there was a lot of people in the bus station and Spanish overload!

In Mobile, I was able to take a bathroom shower. I wasn't the only one who had the same idea, either! There were about 5 or 6 girls/women, freshening up in the ladies bathroom. I went into the large stall, did my thing and came out feeling a bit more refreshed.

And now I'm in Pensacola! Let the fun continue!

Does it sound too cheesy?

Okay, back to work I go! This is kind of fun! LOL
