... we had a flat tire on the trailer. Ouch! There was just enough room to ease onto the shoulder of the road and we were clearly visible from a long distance, so we felt safe enough to tough it out until a service truck could come change the tire. USAA Roadside Assistance to the rescue! It took a little over an hour for them to arrive and about 30 minutes to put on the spare. The entire time, we were able to sit in the truck with the air conditioner ...

... horns as if the bass wasnt loud enough from the stereo. Theres people dressed up as hollywood stars and cartoon characters everywhere as kids hopped up on junk food elbow past the crowds to ivade their favourite one. Theres homeless people slumped in shop doors reeking of **** and theres celebrity spotters and tourists everywhere. Some guy offered me a picture of a polterguist as he extended out a blank sheet of paper to me ...

... market. This place was gorgeous, like a mix between the Camden markets and something a little more French but loads of designer food stalls, pies and coffee and cheese and tea and Gumbo. All squeezed into a small covered area. We wandered around but it being so close to breakfast I couldn't really eat a lot so we decided to head for Hollywood and to come back here later when we could enjoy in further. On the bus to Hollywood and pretty much as soon as we saw the walk of fame we ...

... and then it was off to the airport. Typical, we were there in plenty of time and of course no lines or waiting (the opposite of what you find when you are running late). However unlike all other airports I have ever visited once you get to the wait lounge (after going through security etc) there are no shops, cafes or even a TV program to watch - very boring. The only luckty thing ...

... meegenomen en, metname Susanne, wilde even in zee een 'duik' nemen....en dus 'mocht' Alfred mee. Nou het water was dus STEENkoud...een duik zit er dus niet in. We probeerde daarom zo dicht mogelijk bij de hoge golven te komen zodat we de kracht eens kunnen voelen. Nou we kunnen jullie laten weten dat deze golven echt veel kracht hebben...ondank dat we op de grond konden blijven staan durfden we niet al te ver te gaan. Elke keer dat er zo'n grote golf aankomt ...

Upon arriving into the City of Angels, I immediately shuffled through my iPod to find Randy Newman's classic "I Love L.A.". Yes, I am that corny guy, fueled by the elated state of finally feeling summer arrive. Although it was July, we had been snowboarding in Colorado through mid-June. I had never been so proud to wear a T-Shirt and gym shorts. You see, we Coloradoans are spoiled, especially behind the wheel. We wait for people at green ...

... eyes closed, but I get the feeling she has not slept at all. I didn't sleep much either, and I feel completely inside-out. At this particular moment, I really don't feel much like traveling, finding a cab to our hostel, or anything. I just want my own bed! This is our 2nd time trying a red-eye flight to start a trip (Costa Rica did same) and I don't think it's worth it. We do save a day this way, not wasting a day on a ...

Today I dropped Tim off at his hotel near LAX. He is flying back to Omaha tomorrow. Just wasn't for him it turns out. He has had enough of sleeping in the car, not haning out with his friends, not having tv, and eating cheap. So from here on out its just me. Which means no compromises I can do, see, go, and eat whatever and wherever I want from here on out.

Well, here is the first of many entries into this journal! I am currently sat in Burger King in Los Angeles International Airport. It is 3am in the UK and quite frankly I am shattered. I have a 3 hour wait before my flight to Rarotonga departs so thought I might as well make a small entry! The flight here was good. It left Heathrow on time and there was an empty seat between me and the other guy on my row. It suited us both well. He ...

Exterior - The Fusion was the first Ford model to feature the chrome three-bar grille that has since appeared on other models. There are projector-beam headlights and taillights that are a cross between conventional colored and clear lenses. A chrome strip decorates the lower edge ...
