Our last day today (sob), so we packed up and made sure everything was accounted for. Had breakfast at a place round the corner and have come in here to make our final entry in the USA. Next we plan to go back to the shopping outlet to change a shirt that was a bit too small and then, if we...

Hollywood

Today being our last full day, we decided to check off some things from our "to do" list. We decided to drive down to the Walk of Fame only to discover that it was less than half a mile from our hotel. With Dad finally persuading me to walk, we parked the car back at the hotel and headed down...

Universal Studios

We spent a full day at Universal Studios. We had paid a little extra to get Front of Line passes which were very useful! Nothing particularly funny to talk about - although whenever there was an opportunity to get wet ... Dad did in spectacular fashion. I was under the impression that...

Let's Go Dodgers!

Started early, for once, and headed over to the U.C.L.A Campus to pick-up some tickets for tonight's L.A. Dodgers baseball game against the Florida Marlins. Not before watching a good-old fashioned police car chase live on the telly, with the woman racing away at an average speed of 40mph - it...

New York, New York

New York is BIG. When Central park is a couple of km’s long, and takes up a teeenie part of Manhattan island, you know there is going to be plenty of walking involved. Honestly, we were in NYC for a crazy four days, and were always out and about, so I’ll give you some of the...

Full Circle

Had a bit of a lay-in this morning in Ventura - come on, we deserved it after those trains! - then took the rather short trip into Los Angeles via the Camarillo Shopping Outlet. These outlets are massive - they put Bicester Village to shame - and are set out in a circle. You get halfway...

A city that never sleeps

There seems like so much to do in New York, and there really is! Cliched, sure, but true all the same. We arrived in to the bus station sometime in the afternoon and were aghast at how stupidly and insanely large this joint was. About 87 gates for buses. Buses EVERYWHERE. As we've already...
