Hob Nobbing in Hollywood

As the plane came into land at LAX, I could see the Hollywood Hills, the Pacific Ocean and the biggest, widest, busiest roads ever. In the taxi to the hotel I got all excited and kept pointing out the street signs to Sinead - Sunset Boulevard, Hollywood and Vine, etc.

Saw the Kodak Theatre (home to the Oscars), Grauman's Chinese theatre (with all the hand and footprints), Walk of Fame..

Sinead freaked me out in the middle of the night by sitting up in her bed and telling me that we're not alone on this holiday - there's someone else with us. Then she lay back down and went to sleep again. Totally freaked me out. Couldn't sleep . What a weirdo!

Took a tour of the celeb houses - tack heaven, cruised down Rodeo Drive, hung out on Venice beach with the Baywatch lifeguards, and took a trip to the Santa Monica Pier.

We spent most of the time crying with laughter - so much fun and hilarity. LA was ace. Although there's no central hub like other cities, each separate area has its own hub and the contrast between each just makes LA so much more appealing and diverse.
