Wow, what a flight. A 7 movie marathon broken only by meals and an attempt or two at sleep foiled by the elbows of a stranger or young Brooke. The others fared a little better, but it will be a very early night.
Cathay Pacific = brilliant.
Weather = perfect all round, bar a bit of turbulence Hawaii way.
LA Passport and customs - cruised through in 20 minutes.
Car rental setup ( enterprise) excellent but squeezing 4 suitcases into their fleet of cars, not so easy. Ended up switching to. Lincoln Town Car with a cave as a 'trunk'
Driving on the wrong side of the road = fun! Having a harder time with turns on red signals. Seems so dodgy. Love the drivers here already. Tolerant and courteous!
Checked in to the hotel late arvo after putting the TomTom to the test on the journey. The 'calculating new route' bit melted and fell off.
Room is cosy, but fine. Surrounded by fast food and a giant discount shoe shop. Brooke has a new bag already and me some running socks. based on what I've seen prices wise , we're moving here.....
We've seen the HOLLYWOOD sign, driven along Santa Monica Blvd ( trying to remember the words to the Cheryl crow song) and squiggled through the streets of LA.
Tomorrow the adventure begins!!!!

Bob Butcher Glad to read that you all made it safe and sound and that your already coming to terms with driving on the right hand side of the road. Girls, GO HARD with the shopping you can pay for the shipping back to Australia with the savings you make on your spending. Well thats how my wife explained it to me when she went shopping during our visits to the US??
