Los Angeles
Entry 8 of 40 | show all | print this entry |
We got up early this morning to pack and leave for the
airport. We booked a shuttle to take us, but as we were
sitting there waiting for it, a doorman asked if we wanted to go in a
Hummer limo to the airport and it would cost $10 each. (We were
paying $6.50 for the shuttle which has to go to other hotels to pick up
passengers). We jumped at the chance and felt very important
zipping along in the limo. I have never been in one, so
enjoyed it more than the rest. What a mushy treat!!
When we got to the airport, there was a queue to book in and a sign
saying we had to pay $2 per suitcase. We peered inside the
airport, and there was a normal check in, where you didn't have to pay
anything, so off we went to that line, and it didn't take
long. We had to use the computer to get our boarding
passes, and when we applied it asked if we wanted to upgrade for $14
per person. We said no, as we thought it wasn't worth it,
and when we got upstairs to the boarding gate, the fellow said that
they had upgraded us themselves, as they had room in the premium
economy. Another treat!!! It meant we had about
5 inches extra of leg space.
The flight was so quick. Barely an hour. We got
there just before 12. Then we had to wait for a bus
to take us the station. Someone on the internet forum
had given me such wonderful directions, that we just followed them to a
T. It took us over 2 hours to get here though, and
what a lovely surprise our little hotel was. We have like a
suite, with two big double beds, a kitchen, dining room and nice
bathroom. Ash was sooo excited, as it meant we could have
fruit and our own meals. I was excited as it meant I could
have Honey Smacks for brekkie, but sadly there were none at the grocery
store we went to! so I will have to look elsewhere.
I have left Ash upstairs having a kip, as she is feeling quite
tired. Not as sprightly as her dear mum!!! Ha Ha!!
The location of the hotel is great. It is in Hollywood and it is behind
a big shopping centre, and the Kodak theatre (where they hold the Oscar
ceremony), and one block from the stars on the boulevard. I
have already walked on a few celeb's stars. In fact, I jumped
from one to the other!!!
Not sure what we are going to do here in LA. We will go and see the Celeb's homes, and perhaps a few other things.
