Dear blog. It is that time. We never got those massages we wanted. Bex never got that manicure she wanted. But here we are, LAX, the hub of L.A. Gateway to the west coast. We’re lined up with a few other Aussies waiting for an early check in to get us home. With us we …

Frosty here. I write to you from our motel room on the Bay side of San Fran, a stones throw from Pier 39. Bex is finishing packing her bags again, as we plan to leave early tomorrow morning to get back to Santa Monica. Yesterday we walked up and down Pier 39, saw the sights, …

Morning! Just a short update today as not a whole lot happened yesterday. Bex and I woke up and left our fine coastal hotel and headed south for a short jaunt to Hearst Castle. It’s a very opulent mansion built atop one of the higher hills right on the coast. It takes about 10 minutes …

Just to be the Car that drove 1000 miles to show up at your dooooor!!! Driving Red Sports Car up the Californian Coast:   Today Bex and I journeyed from San Diego to Ragged Point, both on the west coast. North of Los Angeles the countryside is actually breathtaking and I cannot even begin to understand …

I’ve never been to a place before where I honestly felt the entire construct was there just to take my money. I’ve looked at a lot of places and thought it; but I’ve never actually been to such a place. Seaworld is open from 10am to 5pm, and tickets are $84 on the website. Fortunately …

We had decided that some sort of Mexican cuisine would go down well, and had identified a nearby Chipotle. Bex and I set off walking though the gaslight district admiring all the shops and the lights and the sound and the smells. We didn’t even get a block from our hostel before deciding that if …

Universal studios is an amazing place. Even after landing in L.A. and seeing cars (like LAPD) that only exist in the movies cruise around, it’s still really hard to get your head around what you’re really seeing. Nothing really drove the magic home any more than getting to Universal Studios and standing in-front of the …

Bertie Botts Every Flavoured Beans:   I would not recommend going in to this game of beans unless you already hate yourself. The “nice” flavours aren’t even that good. Beanboozled:   No. Just no. If I could rate this negatively, I would. I would take it’s stars, and stab them repeatedly into the eyes of the inventor …

On Saturday the 3rd Bex and I got up early and hopped in our shiny red sports car and zipped over to Hollywood. Traffic was really good and we made great time. US 101 Traffic:   L.A. is apparently grid-locked so often that to get moving traffic is a good deal, but it’s frustrating how Americans …

Hey Blog. I’m sorry you’ve been lonely. It’s just that I’ve been really busy and I just haven’t had the time – Yes. Yes, I’m seeing someone else. It’s name is Disneyland in California, and we get along really rather well. It’s a love hate relationship – I wait around all day just to spend …
