We went to pick up our rental car today, on the way there on the bus Chris asks me "Did you put the navigator in your bag?" I said "No? I don't know where the navigator is?" He said, "What do you mean? I gave it to you at the apartment?" I remembered him giving me something but I thought it was the mobile phone charger and put it on the dresser. Oops! Amazingly enough I didn't cop a spray for it!! Then Chris asks Jo and Pierre, "Did you bring your license...

We got up early this morning so that we could get to Universal Studios early. We researched the way to get there and as it turns out, it's only two stops from Hollywood / Vine Station! We went to the station and once again felt like the hobos were watching us take money out of our bags. This made me feel super uncomfortable, it always does!

Well, as we were waiting I turned to the pilot and told him what I had said to Mia. He said in a Canadian accent (which I thought was American... my bad) "Where you headed?" an...

Today we went on the subway to downtown LA. I was surprised at how clean and "Hollywood" like the subway was! The ceiling was made up of film reels, there were old huge film cameras and palm tree like statues. The tickets only cost $1.75 for a single trip and $7.00 for and all day ticket.
