Anaheim Plaza Hotel

... line, we didn't quite make it.<br>We crossed off most of the rides and attractions we hadn't yet done, but unfortunately we didn't get to do Space Mountain as there was an almost 2 hour wait.<br><br>We had lunch at the Blue Bayou restaurant, which the Pirates of the Caribbean ride goes through. It is themed as if you are eating at night, with the boats from the ride just floating past.<br><br>The highlight of our final Disneyland day was without a doubt the show called ...

... where Ellen Degeneres was taping and her Porsche was parked outside. We went into a prop place, a museum that had outfits starts had worn, including Heath Ledgers Joker outfit and a whole floor dedicated to Harry Potter. We also went onto the set of the Mentalist, although they have just wrapped up the first season. We also went into Monica and Ross's house where they had grown up and saw the park where Ross played rugby and another where Phoebe ...

After a twelve and a half hour flight and two hours to get through Immigration, Customs, baggage claim, hopping on the wrong shuttle bus and finally arriving at the right hotel I can see if I can get some sleep. The flight over was fairly uneventful and I was able to watch the last Narnia flick, I Am Legend and Iron Man over the course of the flight. I wish that there were individual air nozzles though that you can control because the flight was a bit ...

... terminator experience, they blew something up and the shards of metal coming at me got me quite scared.  There was a Waterworld war with water cannons and jet skis.  We walked up the Sky walk that evening and Lydia got to go into the Hard Rock Cafe in Hollywood.  Lydia, Mum and Sarah took a tour the following day of the Stars homes and then we all went on the Hop on Hop off bus round LA.  The sun is always shining but the wind is so so cold it's unreal.  Lydia keeps complaining that ...

In the end I couldn't really be bothered with any other films as I was tired and I'd seen the main ones. I did watch Louis Theroux and his documentary about Las Vegas and gambling. I learnt that you've got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em. I managed to get past immigration with ...

... I decided on Amsterdam for two weeks. The day of my departure arrived and I ended up at the airport about two hours earlier than I needed to be, but I could not sit home. It was raining in Los Angeles the day I left and the tarmac was glossy and reflective like sheets of hematite. I wrote in my journal and waited for the call to board. The 10 ½ hour flight flew by. Arriving in Schipol Airport around noon, I had the whole ...
