... rides including The Pirates of the Caribbean, Splash Mountain, Indiana Jones, Big Thunder Mountain railway, Matterhorn Bobsleds and last but certainly not least, Space Mountain (freaky - but the coolest by far!). We also spent a large part of the day wet as they put James in the front of the log ride. He weighed about 20kg more than all other riders therefore ...

... We took a short detour into Pepperdine, and were rewarded with great views (not to mention seeing their baseball stadium’s outfield filled with beach volleyball courts). After driving a bit, we saw El Matador State Beach and decided to pull over to look. As we looked over the cliffs to the arched rocks far below, we were certainly glad we stopped. A testament to its beauty – there were at least two photo ...

Welcome to my travel blog! I just wanted to welcome you all to my blog and give you a little information about the up coming semester. I will be leaving for Florence, Italy on Monday Jan. 12 and arriving in Florence around noon on the 13th. It'll be 3 am PST. I love time zones. I'll be having orientation until the 16th and then will start my classes on the 19th. I will ...

China Town was built in the 1930's. A gift shop and dinning district with Chinese architecture and exotic colors. There were not a whole lot of people to start with but as ...

... hill. We then drove through Belair and saw much the same style of houses and then Beverly Hills. Very very rich areas, over 95% of the population there are multi-millionaires.. We stopped at Rodea Drive just to do some window shopping.. Everything in LA has a story, that's where so and so as filmed... that's the shop that Julia Roberts wasn't allowed to shop in in Pretty Woman etc. etc. We also came back down Sunset Blvd where a lot of the nightclus are. Called the Sunset strip because ...

... of learning, so I think we'll get along well. We got through the entire Thoroughly Modern Mille Section today, which is largely a big solo for me - but with lots of dancing - real dancing; not singer dancing! : ) So... I'm super tuckered out. I had hoped to get to the gym today, but since it was such a long day of near-constant moving, and since today was the first day on my new (read; getting up early ...

... De Morney, Madonna, Lawrence Fishborne and director Kevin Smith. From there we headed to west Hollywood and Sunset Strip before reaching Santa Monica for lunch. After a quick stop at the nearby Venice Beach where at last I was able to take my shirt off and show everyone what I've got (stupid tan lines where my t-shirt was), we then headed back to the hotel ready to leave L.A and America. Will.

... Cook Islands each week, there are no aircraft engineers, no spare planes and fewer airport shops than Ronaldsway! And so we joined the other tired, angry passengers and were shipped off to various hotels to wait for another plane to be sent out to us from New Zealand. The next day our plane arrived and after a 9 1/2 hour flight, we made it to LAX late in the evening. What our hostel on Venice beach lacked in luxury, it certainly made up for in location ...

... to talk about travel and gave me good tips for BA, India, and S Africa. 12/5/05 Montevideo, Uruguay We sidled next to the dock in fog so thick that I couldn't see beyond the stern. But good news -- it wasn't cold out. As the fog lifts a bit I see we are stern to stern with the Minerva II from Swan Hellenic Lines. We took the free Casa Mario shuttle to old town and browsed their fine over-priced leather jackets. Then we ambled along ...

... having an apple core thrown at our car when we wandered into a bad area, Inglewood). It was one of my favorite trips. I met Bruce Campbell, had Ted Raimi accidentally bump into me, and received a chocolate kiss from Hudson Leik. Better still, I heard Lucy Lawless sing live on stage. Although staying in a shady area of Pasadena, we never felt unsafe but for the late night brawl where someone screamed at a guy named Reuben and I yelled, "Hit the deck!"
