It’s about time I gave a little update on my trip to California.  Whiel I was away I had trouble getting onto my blog. But it all seems to be fixed now.
Chris decided back in March to head off to Los Angeles and San Francisco. And being the envious type I invited myself along.  It was all quickly organised and we got a great deal on Qantas and American Airlines.  We were all set for 10 days in California.
Apart from looking forward to doing a load of shopping in the US again we were also prepared to do a whole lot of touring of the two cities.  We started with a tour of Los Angeles and the stars homes. And later they dropped us off at Universal Studios.  It was kinda cool seeing the Hollywood hills again and the papparazzi camped outside the house where Michael Jackson is staying.
I really like Abercrombie’s idea of parking topless models in their front doors.  It got us in there shopping…  every time!  I noticed that they did not do it in San Francisco though. Maybe it was too chilly there.  This Abercrombie store was in the trendy Grove shopping complex in LA.
We pretty much ate in diners the whole time…Â explains my new waistline. Â But one of our favourites had to be Hooters on Hollywood Boulevarde. Â What a fun place! Â Oh boy…Â and cheese fries! Â I had no idea such a thing existed! Â I pretty much ate burgers every day.
Oh…Â and I forgot to mention that Qantas gave us a free upgrade to Premium Economy class on the way over the Pacific. Â Â How nice was that! Â It really made it a very comfortable trip. Â The flight attendants on board were great too!
Los Angeles was a little cooler than I expected. But the sunny days were nice.  I also got to catch up with my old mate Joe from San Diego while I was there.
The trip across was so nice and easy. I’m actually thinking I might do it again this year. I love flying and I love going to the US.
