Today I flew from Las Vegas to Los Angeles. It was a brilliant flight of only 40 minutes which I was so very happy about, especially as it was scheduled to be 1 hour and 10 minutes!! When I landed in LA it was noticably cooler than Vegas but much more humid. LAX is enormous! The biggest airport I have been in thus far.
I got a cab and left LAX for Santa Monica. My taxi driver was a French American hell bent on trying to get us killed in traffic! But he was a great conversationalist and told me all about 'Australian kissing' (apparently the french version of french kissing) and laughed hysterically at his own story!! We talked about all my kids and the fact that my hubby let me (I love that, every one says he let me come here ... does he own me? I sure as hell don't own him, nor he me, and we both like this arangement) come to the US alone. When he heard I had three kids he looked at me in the rear view mirror and said 'like making babies do ya??' with a raised eyebrow. Ho hum! But he was a laugh and totally harmless so I gave him a good tip (be kind to ya mum LOL) and he said he'd come back any time to give me a ride!!
My hotel in Santa Monica is unbelievably awesome!! I have an ocean view and a sliding door that opens onto a balcony (ie an inch wide with a railed fence) to let all the gorgeous breeze in. I was immediately reminded of Perth when I opened the door, especially when we lived in South Fremantle and the Freo Doctor used to come in every afternoon.
The afternoon flew by in a wonderful blur and before I knew it I had drunk a whole bottle of Veuve Cliquot by myself and realised I was exhausted. I flopped on the bed and fell asleep. Now I have a second wind and thought I would quickly write this before going to sleep. Tomorrow I plan on seeing Santa Monica Pier and 3rd Street Prominade for some shopping :D As always, you'll find out about my day here :D Night all!
