So here we are. Been awake near enough 24 hours now. The flight was decent watched many films however didn't get any sleep which I'm sure we will pay for tomoz. The flight took bout 12/13 hours in the end as we had to spend 90 mins sat on the tar mac at LAX as they shut the airport for the vice president's departure. Anyways hotel here is nice, we have so far embraced the famous American past time of binge eating fast food consisting of subway and pizza :) we had a stroll down manhattan beach which had some lovely houses and which is apparently the home of beach volleyball ;) see pic for a view of the beach. I probably sound like I'm rambling because 1) I am and 2) the lack of sleep has made me start to loose the plot. Time for bed now. Meeting the rest of the gang tomoz at 7.30 so will talk then/by the time I'm able to post this we will be en route to Las Vegas!! we are currently 8hrs behind so it's 8.30pm here and 4.30 am english time as I finally say good night.
