... Mom) and ended up instead heading to DL. We found it after about an hour of driving around it. We ended up past it and had to get back on the I-5 (again!) and backtrack. We found a hotel and still had no idea where DL was. We watched That 70's Show (!!) and were rudely interrupted by the sound of fireworks not high enough to see. It was rather annoying. But I'm excited to see Minnie and the princesses tomorrow. :) <br><br>

... we went back to the hotel on the mono rail. Another trip to the pool where Callie still doesn't want to go swimming. No bee stings this time though. Dinner time at the Rain Forest Cafe. Very big place and they send you though quickly. Must make a lot of money. Callie had a minor melt down and we had to bribe her with a promise to buy her a cup. There was Thunder and Lightening every 15 ...

... know, we just picked what was out on the hot trays behind the counter. The typical stuff--rice, pancit, lumpia, adobo. Serving sizes aren't what we're used to getting. We're used to the huge scoops of rice and pancit. Large servings that you've got enough on your 3 item plate to take home for left overs. Not at "D'nu Eggroll", we finished everything there. We promised to come back tomorrow for their breakfast, but I ...

... symbolisch fuer den gesamten bisherigen Verlauf meines Kalifornien-Aufenthaltes, der nicht beser haette sein koennen. Kalifornien war und ist fuer mich der wahrscheinlich beste Platz zum Leben auf diesem Planeten und wie Bali eine emotionale zweite Heimat fuer mich. LA war aber bisher eine relativ unbekannte und eher ungeliebte Groesse fuer mich - Grund genug, nach 15 Jahren noch einmal genauer hinzuschauen. Und da ich mit so ...

... on the 43 South bus. The process of boarding the bus caught me by surprise, as you don't give the fare to the drive, you just deposit it into a small machine, and you aren't issued any sort of ticket to prove that you have paid. One of the adventures of catching public transport in unfamiliar places is not knowing exactly where you are going but thankfully the Best Western Stovalls Inn ...

... on down towards Newport Beach where we took a diversion to Balboa Island. This was truly the most perfect place in California. A small island surrounded by harbour/marina, where the cute little houses all had their own piers and boats of varying sizes. Of course, only the super-wealthy live around here - made note to win lottery soon! The main through street was equally cute, with lots of quirky independent shops and ice-creameries. Parts of ...

... moments: - Hotel Acapulco and the neighborhood around it - Incredible traffic, smog and unpleasantness of walking around Panama City - Late flights that made us so exhausted it was hard to enjoy parts of the trip - Struggling to find things to do in Panama City that made it seem worth the bad parts To sum up the Panama trip, we could say ...

... was where we found the likes of George Cloony, Charlize Theron, Fred Astaire, Sylvester Stallone, Gregory Peck, Julie Andrews (just to name a few)! This was more like we had expected it to be &amp; we spent some time just taking it all in. Being Halloween there was quite a festive atmosphere with many people dressed up &amp; some kids already trick or treating! We decided to spend the evening at City Walk, a part of Universal Studios. Here we made our ...
