Flight to LA

We left from gate 86 (Maxwell Smart) and flew on VA007 (James Bond)....spooky! The flight was great and seemed to go quickly. Had lots of toys to play with - small screen with TV programs & movies & games. Watched 463 episodes (or thereabouts :) ) of the Big Bang Theory - I love Sheldon :)    Because of the time difference we spent the 18th travelling to LA but also had the full day in LA.  Bought an I Phone (love it) - did lots of walking - Lee hit the clothes shops. It was very hot especially after leaving 1 degree C in Adelaide.  Ended the day with sore feet and a Mexican dinner and a 10 hours sleep

Now the 19th and spent the day on our feet again. Walked to Hollywood & Vine and the surrounding area.  Once again it was very hot.  Stopped at Fatburger for a surprisingly healthy burger and did our first "star" spotting - chatted with Sophie Monk. Very nice and I will stress she wasn't eating burgers lol - she was there with her brother who was doing the eating. Went to Graumans Chinese Theatre and saw all the stars prints in the cement - James Stewart had the biggest feet. Went to Angels Flight which is a cable car that only goes one stop up a hill - read about it in a Michael Connolley  book - very interesting. We could see the Hollywood sign in the distance and will see it up close tomorrow. They were rolling out the red carpet for the Premiere of Captain America but it was too hot and crowded to hang around. Did a bit of shopping -much cheaper than Australia. Taxi back to hostel - feet to sore :)  Bugs#13
