I'm in L.A!
We flew into Los Angeles this morning at 6:50am, and have spent most of the day trying to keep ourselves awake. There are 3 of us on this current trip, with a 4th set to join us next week. As it is the weekend today's activities have centered largely around the tourist areas of LA. We are staying down in Long Beach, so we drove down to our hotel early. Unfortunately, not all the rooms were ready to check in at 8:00am, but we did get one to store all our stuff.
So we got in the car and drove down to Long Beach. Then we drove up to Hollywood. We walked Hollywood Boulevard, and then again jumped in the car to Beverly Hills and Rodeo Drive. If only a had a few million to spend on diamonds! After that, we continued to Santa Monica Boulevard to 3rd Street Promenade in Santa Monica. It was then that I got the chance to ring Anth and tell her we made it ok, and check up how she was going. We had a nice lunch, and kicked each other to stay awake.
That meant that some physical activity was on the cards. We drove down to Venice Beach and spent a good 3 hours wandering around looking at all the interesting sites. Muscle Beach definitely isn't what it used to be. It was a nice day, despite the smog, and a lot of people were out and about. From there, it was back to the hotel for dinner. Our target was to make it to 8:00pm, and I've just reached that now. So off to bed I go.
Ciao for Now, Jetlagged Angry Dad.

We travelled to the states a coule of years ago and the very first night of our trip we stayed in L.A.
We went out to eat and went to this mexican place that sold DEEP FUCKING FRIED BURITO'S.
I really knew I was in Amserica.
Ha you were about a mile from where I live.
Welcome to sunny...um...cloudy LA. You came after tourist season. In the summer is when the beach and boardwalks are full to the brim with all the crazies. Have fun.
Hey welcome to the U.S. Have a great time.

You are definitely a well travelled man Wiz. Good thing you aren't able to drive to the U.S. You may have been silly enough to try. (just to get a few more kms up on the lease car)
