In the morning we wandered over to ...

When he was going through security at the airport and had to take his shoes off to walk through the scanner, he left behind a trail of wet footprints that surprisingly drew no alert to the security staff. We spent a couple of relaxing hours at the beach and then headed to the airport. The plane left around 6:30pm and I let Ben have ...

... the sun rise from behind the United States. Silly maybe, but I want to join the dots and piece the puzzle as it were, my own way. We nearly didn't get to see it, having to leave San Diego early enough to make it over to LA at a reasonable hour. It was only when Andris said that he hadn't seen a proper sunset before that secured the moment without hesitation. There was no way he could miss this. The ...

... People would rather give up their first born than break change for a 100 (about 30 USD). I once gave a cab driver a 100 for a 14 peso cab ride because i was so frustrated and told him to just keep it. Apparently, the government doesnt put many smaller bills into circualtion.

Many popular surf shops nearby like Billabong and Hurley, a long peir streching out over the water with restaurants and stores on the end, expensive parkinglots close to the shore, tonnes of people tanning surfing and playing in the sand, and large sidewalks on the beach to walk, skateboard, jog, bike and inline skate on.

4th - 11th July We arrived at 1pm in LA on the 4th July despite the fact that the flight was 10 hours and we left Fiji at 10pm on the 4th July....so we arrived before we had left, very weird that whole dateline crossing thing! It was a good flight and I even managed to sleep a fair bit. We didn't get any breakfast though as someone had 'contaminated' half of the meals?! Don't know what had happened but he got taken off the plane by the police as soon ...

Knowing that they didn't sell it, I asked if I could buy a bottle, and she disappeared and came back with a bag with a bottle of Dom Perignon in it and said "our secret, okay?"... cool. My second trip in a row where they gave me champagne to take home!!! It always helps to learn a few phrases in Korean. Afterwards, I wrote some postcards and gave them to the flight attendant to mail for me as well as a feedback survey ...
