City of Angels

Well, we had a fabulous time overseas. It's a mere memory, like the gruelling flight to Canada amidst the security scare, flying solo and trying to kill time at the LA airport. The most trying ordeal was lining up for a coffee at Starbucks. Man that place is busy!
Anyway, on the way back from Canada we had a day to kill in LA. So we went to Universal Studios. Luckily our luggage was sent directly to Sydney so we didn't have to worry about excess baggage. So we hopped on a shuttle bus and toured Hollywood before being dropped off at Universal. I saw the Hollywood sign en route. It's like seeing the Eiffel Tower or the Statue of Liberty for the first time. I was happy. If nothing else I saw the Hollywood sign. I was actually in the land of the Oscars, Willl & Grace and the Emmy's. Universal Studios was only 45 min from the airport. We took a cab back to the airport and spent the rest of our time in the Qantas Lounge! Taking a shower between flights is a godsend. Anyway, Spring is in the air and we're loving our new home overlooking the river. It's nice to be home but Canada in the summer is a lot of fun.
