Up Up & Away – Here we go

I woke at about 5am and there was no way I could go back to sleep cause "I'm going to Disneyland". I bounced out of bed, showered and was ready in no time. Then the painful wait begins before our car arrives. 6.30am on the dot we hop in the car and head off to the airport. The rain was coming down, th...

Out on the town

Friday, April 17, 2009 After I finished my test on Friday I drove out to Venice Beach, since I've been there a couple of times, but always when it was wet and cold and there were not many people around. It was sunny and there were plenty of people, many of them street types and a lot of trinket vendors. I can now say, at least, I've seen Venice,...

Let the adventure commence!!!

Greetings to you all from LA!!!! I've finally made it to the first leg of the great world tour! Touched down in LA around 1500 local time and the sun was shining. We recieved a warm welcome from the folks at the hostel who were havin an oscars party with free booze - as you know, I'm never one to refuse. Spent the next few days doin the obligito...

Notes on the trip home

Leaving HNL at 9:40 pm, some napping was in order for the 5-hour flight back to LAX. Unfortunately, because of our seating assignments on the way into HNL, and the night time departure on our way out, we weren't able to glimpse two of the area's notable landmarks, Diamond Head and the Arizona Memorial. Next time, for sure, though. Well, we had a...

Flashback's and Deja Vu's

Definitivo, Los Angeles sin bandas Angelinas no sabrían a lo mismo, The Causey Way y los Red Hot Chilli Peppers, caminar por Hollywood Boulevard, toparse con extraños edificios que me recuerdan la infancia (si yo fui niño en los ochenta), sin quererlo y sin embargo deseandolo siempre estuve en la calle de las camisetas vintage, asi que para los ...

Tour of Hollywood and Leaving LA

Hey, Went on a tour around Hollywood. Saw the sign of Hollywood, went down sunset strip, Russel Crow is play at one the hippest venues with his band. LOL. Saw where the Hoff lives in LA, got photos as well! Had a walk along Rodeo Dr in Beverly Hills and almost walked strait into Oprah, I was looking the other way. She had a private viewing at a ...

LA Style - Confidentially

On my first and previous visit to Los Angeles I managed to fit in most things, except for a visit to The Getty Center, so a visit this time round was a priority. For those who don't know this is an arts and cultural centre founded by J. Paul Getty Trust a philanthropic organisation honouring J. Paul Getty the multi-squillionare of the 20th Centu...

Opat na zapade

Youpie! Tak som znova v Juzne Kalifornii. :-) Ked pridete z Manhattanu do Los Angeles, tak je to naozaj obrovsky rozdiel. Jedna z prvych veci co si vsimnete je (okrem paliem) to, ze v Los Angeles sa rozhodne nemusite s nikym tlacit na chodniku. Na Manhattane je o 17:00 takmer nemozne chodit, kvoli mnozstvu ludi, co tam chodi po chodnikoch. V Los...
