Burbank Inn And Suites

... 106 degrees. The a/c was barely cold and we couldn't escape the blaring sun. Our car visors were doing nothing. I was getting sun burnt, I could feel it. It didn't matter... it was sun, not rain, sun! Again, the landscape changed almost immediately. Our first palm tree sighting was exciting (of course I documented it!) We saw some pretty wild plant life including some kind of flowery cactus thing that looked like it should have been in "Bikini Bottom". Then we saw spiky ...

... a lot. The good part is that the trip is teaching us what to look for in an area. This can be tough when you want to eliminate as much suburbia as possible. But, I think we are starting to make sense of what needs to be within a few blocks of us to make it work. We finished up the night in downtown Burbank which is also a very cool place. I don't know, we'll see if it leads anywhere, but it was a lot of fun looking around and dreaming. Curt

... leather massaging chair which vibrated and rocked me to sleep. Blisssssssssssssssss and it was cheap as chips. Our first night in LA, Derek unfortunately had to go out for a meeting but June, David and I watched Jeopardy on tv which is a fantastic game show!!! I love it!! It's like a fastest-finger-first game show where when presented with one word you have to shout out what the question may be. Horribly addictive. Sadly, David and I were sooooooo shattered we fell asleep ...

... en courbes, à l'intérieur chic et classique. Juste le temps de nous retourner pour apercevoir un tournage dans la rue... impossible d'identifier quelqu'un. la fin de la soirée approche, un sut au Staples Center et au Nokia Center pour quelques photos et retour à l'hôtel. Une journée de repos nous attendait le lendemain. Santa Monica et Venice sont des endroits magnifique. À l'opposé l'un de l'autre, ils sont toutefois complémentaire sur le front ...

... large fences so that there was no way to see the fancy house. After a half hour we gave up and braved LA traffic at afternoon rush hour to head back to our hotel. We learned a valuable LA traffic lesson on this excursion. LA drivers don't use surface streets. The 405 was jammed bumper to bumper and not moving. Miranda suggested an alternate ...

... fun people watching. People are really into their little lap dogs over here. They take them everywhere and dress them up, it's hilarious. We then walked up the mall again. There were heaps of buskers there, some were really quite good. There was a guy there with a monkey. It cost $1 to shake its hand. We thought it was probably diseased so we stayed well clear. I ...

... stone building around a central courtyard full of manicured gardens, intricate murals, marble inlayed floors and detailed columns. I think we were both a little more impressed with the building and grounds than the actual art, but the place was truly beautiful. As a prelude to all the creepy crawlies I expect to see in Australia, we saw this monstrous spider walking along Manhattan Beach. Next update from Australia!!

... to my mom on the way in. I will miss checking in with "my guys" (ie: the 53 stunt guys that I office manage for at Stunts Unlimited), hearing their latest stories about what's going on for them, or the latest gag they did on a show...they always make me laugh. 2. Today is Ben's last day of work at his current job, in Minneapolis, Minnesota. That's right, part of this whole adventure is the fact that Ben is picking up his world ...

... det er sagt, saa overdriver vi ikke naar vi sier at det var skummelt. Det var et oppriktig hat i veldig mange oeyne rettet mot oss, sikkert mye pga at det er vanskelig aa klandre mexicanere for aa hate amerikanere. I hvert fall naar en bor i slike byer hvor amerikanere tror de er konger. Men vi har ingen intensjon om aa bli politiske her, saa nok om det. Dagen efter gjorde vi ogsaa svaert lite, bare slappet av, beachet litt, satt litt paa internett og bestemte oss for ...

Yesterday Becky and I (Becky being the girl i met from Newcastle) went on the local busses to Sunset Strip and Hollywood Blvd. It was pretty fun, we saw the walk of fame and the Hollywood signand the Rock walk of fame (although the latter was closed). We had a great time. We also went to Sav-On Drugs which is actually a supermarkrt wtih a pharmacy at the back. Today we ...
