Today was our last day in California. Our flight wasn't until 23:30 and our shuttle was booked for 18:00 so we had one last day in West Hollywood. Trying to spend as little money as possible we checked out at 11:00 and made brunch! A turkey and spinach omelette on wheat pitta which was filling and good!
We spent some time face timing the family as we didn't know what wifi would be like in Fiji.
We then headed out walking up Melrose to do some window shopping which turned into a Starbucks, a skull blouse and tye dye t-shirt I could not leave California without!
Back at the hostel we made some late lunch early dinner with our remaining food. Pork and salami pasta with red pepper and spinach, tasty and filling enough so we wouldn't have to spend money on food at the airport. After a couple of games of scrabble it was pick up time.
We got stuck in a bit of traffic but made it to the airport with plenty of time! We checked in and made the massive blunder of going straight through security which meant we only had a couple of shops and missed out on the bigger duty free, shops and margaritas :( Gutted by our mistake we had a drink in the bar that was available, Neil had a Coors Light and I had a horrible vodka and lemonade.
Time went quite quickly with more scrabble and coffee and sure enough it was time to board the plane! We sat on the top deck in the most narrow isle!
We had a slightly delayed take off because paper work was being filled in. Dinner was served shortly after take off; a bread roll, chicken adobo, rice and carrots and cheese and cracker. No Norma adobo a bit salty but not bad for plane food!
Entertainment was weird as there wasn't a choice you just had to watch what was showing on each channel so I watched a bit of toy story 2 and then a film with Kevin Hart and Gabrielle Union . Had a lil sleepy and woke up to a refresher towel and toothbrush. They provided a light breakfast but we left it and thought we would get something in Fiji at a breakfast hour.
We arrived in Fiji at 05:24 on 22/09/12 and were welcomed by a band in bula shirts. We had lost a day but all was good!
