at a clinic or a hospital no longer have the time to write patient
medical records. Instead, they chose to dictate it into a digital voice
recorder for medical transcribers to convert speech into text. The lack
of time of doctors has opened up employment opportunities ...

... the 15 minutes back home so things could settle into place. I said my goodbyes to Alex as Michelle was going to drive me up to Pacific Palisades to my next home - the Windlers! I thanked Michelle for everything and chilled out with everyone - they have got guests galore at the moment - lucky their house can accommodate everyone. We are going to head down to the Getty and the beach tomorrow - do some things I haven't seen in LA..!

... Reef'), MGM Grand (which houses a lion habitat), the Coke Museum, Planet Hollywood Miracle Mile (shops), the Venetian Italian themed), Palazzo and Wynn (both ridiculously posh). After walking between and around these we were beyond knackered so it was an early night. Day 71 Our last day in Vegas, and of our trip. We decide to take in one more show, and buy tickets for "Believe" - which is a show with Cirque du Soleil teaming up with Chris Angel (a famous illusionist ...

... a coffee porter tonight, and a Rogue chipolte something. Sleep steals the evening the dogs Otter and Steve lay on my legs paralyzing me in a comfortable couch-ridden state of bliss. Walking the dogs, morning and afternoon, Is a therepeautic activity. The park lake has geese, ducks, and swans? A turtle here and there and dogs abound. There are beautiful women around everywhere, and handsome men, there is a definite cocktail of dwellers and those vagrant like ...

... in the late 1940s and now live at Uplands, about 60 miles East of LA.  Despite being in their eighties, they still have a great zest for life and gave us a great time.  On the Sunday, as a special treat for Anne, we visited Hollywood and our photos show what fun we had.  We were then taken out for a meal before being delivered to LAX airport for our gruelling overnight flight to the Cook Islands for 5 days of blissful relaxation on a tropical beach.

... and leaving New Jersey behind for New York the next morning....errr afternoon. On Friday morning, our eyes widely opened from the nonstop chitter chatter by the adults in the kitchen. I was sleeping in the living room, by the way! We immediately got our things ready (clothes for wedding, heels, clothes to sleep over, cell phone) and managed to leave to New York some time in the afternoon. What was sucky was the fact that the GPS brought us to another ...

... onibus a não ser os fretados . Hoje vi dois ! Na rua não se vê muitos pedestres, nem pontos de onibus e nem estações de metrô . Apenas ruas cheias de carros . Carros enormes . Acho que o menor é o meu, com 4 portas e um bom porta mala . Por aqui fica fácil perceber qual foi a escolha entre o transporte coletivo e o particular . Nosso GPS se chama "Never Lost"e faz jus ao nome . Mesmo sem nunca ter usado um no ...

... flight now but asks for my name. She then informs me that I am not booked on the flight. Honestly, at this point I begin to lose it. Tears begin to flow and I ask how in the hell I have a confirmation in my hand, money out of my account yet I am not on the flight? She gives me a 1-800 number to call and talk about the booking "problem." Ya, cause at 930 at night there are a TON of agents available. I hand the receiver back to the help desk guy and he says "sorry, this ...

... mulig ut av dette pengekrevende landet. Etter veldig mye ringing og stressing fant vi ut at det neste flyet var fullt, og at om vi ville ombooke, saa maatte vi vente 4 dager, noe som var helt uaktuelt. Etter enda mer ringing og stressing viste det seg derimot at en luring som jobbet paa flyplassen kunne faa oss paa et fly til El Salvador som videre kunne ta oss til Costa Rica. Seff kostet det oss noen hundre dollar, men greit nok. Dette var tross alt veldig vaar feil ...

Back before heading off to Las Vegas... Stayed in the Backpackers Lodge on Hollywood Boulevard and managed to book up a couple of trips, firstly to the homes of the stars, and then to Las Vegas (see next stop!) It was an ok hostel, but the folk there we really not friendly - tried a bit of banter, but they seemed to be happy either watching German DVD's, or reading - ah ...
