la and hollywood

Hi to everyone back in Adelaide Australia. Well we arrived safely at LAX at about 5.30 p.m. Friday afternoon, it took about an hour to get through customs and immigration and collect our luggage but we got through no worries. We then got a shuttle bus to the rental car depot and picked up our Mustang. We were meant to have a hard top Mustang but they did not have any so we got a convertible one. It's white with black pin strips down the side. Is is pretty cool but the diff sounds like it's going to die. The car has done 40'000 miles and is due to be traded in soon I think. Still we look cool in it!! Had our first dinner at Applebee's which we were hanging out for and it did not disappoint!
Today we got up and drove to Hollywood and onto Hollywood Boulevard. I had to go to Hurricane shoes and buy some more 'bright' shoes. They do look really cool if I do say so myself. I also got my nephew, Harrison some cool shoes that are 'like Richie's.' He will have to wait until we get home to see them.
We then hit the road and headed north and are spending the night at Milpitas CA which is about 80kms from San Fransisco. Got cheap accommodation, $39 + tax which is quite good. Heading further north tomorrow as we head closer to Seattle. I will upload some photos soon, we really haven't taken many yet.

Harrison is so excited, wants to know when you are coming home so that he can see his shoes, :)

Glad to see that you have arrived and are having a good time. I like the look of the Mustang and hope that it did not give up and you swapped it with a more reliable set of wheels.
Keep enjoying.
Love Mum
