"California.... Knows how to Party...." (insert music notes here!)
Haha
Well Tamielle goes home this Wednesday and I thought we should actually DO something before she goes back to Australia... So last Wednesday I decided that a Road Trip to Los Angeles would do the TRICK!
I booked us a lovely 4-star hotel room for half price through a travel website and off we went at 5am on Friday 10 August!
The drive was really quite easy and we made it to the hotel by 11.15am. We dropped off some things and then went straight to Disneyland! An hour drive from the hotel.
Lots of fun was had by all at the "Happiest Place on Earth".... We took many photos, which I will upload shortly. We also go to go to "California Adventure" which is the new theme park directly opposite Disneyland. At California Adventure, Tamielle and I went on this AWESOME rollercoaster!!!!!!!!!!! THERE WAS LOTS of SCREAMING.......... LOTS OF LAUGHING.............. AND MOSTLY SWEAR WORDS *by me* as we flew around the track at, I don't know, maybe 70-80km an hour? IT WAS SOOOOOOOOOOOO AWESOME!!
California Screamin it was called....... HA!
Anyway we stayed at Disney all day until they closed at 1am.
We got lost on the way home, well just missed our turn and ended up like 25 miles out of our way.... and didn't get home til 4am!
Saturday we got up and went to:
-Rodeo Drive
- Hollywood Boulevard/ Mann's Chinese Theatre/ Hollywood Star walk... etc...
- Farmer's Markets on Fairfax (awesome stores)
- Santa Monica Pier where we had dinner at Bubba Gump Shirmp. Which was very disappointing
We also got 'lost' on the way home here and nearly ended up back in Phoenix. Haha... not quite, but anyway we got back to the hotel around 11pm and then got a taxi down to the Sunset Strip where we danced for over an hour before I nearly fell asleep on the dancefloor.... The Club was called "Privilege"... It was neat!!! However, the $20 Cover Charger and $9 vodka and orange (in a small glass) made it an expensive night.
One drink for me!
LoL
Sunday consisted of sleeping in a bit... Getting up, driving to Univeral City where Universal Studios is and going to the CityWalk shopping area... We dined at my favourite, HARD ROCK CAFE for lunch... and then made our way to Venice Beach...
We did not stay here for long... by the time we found somewhere to park it was 4pm...
Tamielle jumped in the ocean, I sat on the beach... Then we got icecream and I got a henna tattoo on my ankle/foot and we went home... (After spending about 45 minutes trying to get back onto the freeway) hahahah OH and this was AFTER turning down a ONE WAY STREET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I drove for about 6 feet and saw cars turning towards me (they were kind of far away) but lucky i had only JUST TURNED really slowly, as I was unsure... cuz I had time to scream out some profanity, and keep my wheel turning in order to do a circle back to where I was!! HAHAHAHAHAH
kinda scary. mostly funny.
I made it within 50 miles of home before I fell asleep at the wheel... HAHAH not quite...... So Tamielle drove the rest of the way and did very well.... Hehe
Okay well that's pretty much that for now!! I'll upload photos soon!
