Santa Monica

It was decided to skip Ellen today, as we decided to spend tomorrow at Universal Studios. So a little trip to the beach happened. Damn cold it was! No swimming, not that stupid.

Only in WeHo... West Hollywood!

And the Oscar goes to...

Well we sat on Hollywood Blvd and had some good Mexican food, watching the opening of the 83rd Academy Awards for Motion Pictures,
Arts and Sciences (best to get it official). We were 500m from "the Kodak" and what a buzz. Ryans dream was realized (being in LAX) for the night of nights.
Add that to an A380 journey (never had a stiffy for 13hrs before), and it has been a PERFECT 24hrs.

Tomorrow, all going well we are off too see my favorite dyke - ELLEN! Need to call Warner Bros. in the morning to find out if our tickets are ready for tomorrows taping (tues show in Oz).

Fingers crossed!

It is lovely to be back here

Ladies and gentlemen welcome to Los Angeles

Wow! Hope you are sitting down for this... I Love QANTAS! However may retract that depending on the return journey. Great service, great food, personal tour of the BEST airliner in the world. No need for noise canceling headphones, we couldn't even hear the engines during take off. The A380 is a beautiful machine and we can't wait to fly her again.

Off to the hotel for a pre Oscar nap.

Settling in....

Not too sure what Santa is doing behind us? Smelling ryans hair by the looks of it!

Sexy!

Them "motors" are big!

Time to board!

150 minutes to go!

Pleased it is at the jet base being checked BEFORE our flight...good idea!

Oscars.... Here we come!

It's time for the vacation to start!.... Flying the competitor! So far so good. 15 hours to maintain that. Next stop SYD... And the A380, oh my gawd!
