Got up at 9 am today. We had a big catch up sleep and now feel heaps better. Wow! Another long long day. Disneyland just never ends. Well basically there are two parks. Disneyland and Disneyland California Adventure. Today we went to Disneyland. We walked in at 10am and it was packed. Soo many people and kids and heaps of strollers. There was so much to do we didn’t know where to start. We found that the most popular rides had fast track cards where you are given a card with a specific hour to come back and you will go to the front of the line. However only one fast track card would be given out each hour, so we couldn’t just collector them all and go back. Otherwise the wait was as long as ... read more

Disney and Beyond Beefie and I have had a whirlwind week in LA, first we visited Disneyland where Beefie nearly got into a fight with Mickey for making moves on Minnie. Have you ever noticed that Mickey and Minnie have the same last name but don't live together. Are they married or related? And if they are related why are they in a relationship?? We hired a car and went to Newport beach to try and find us a rich desperate Newport housewife. The beach was nice but we could not find any sugar mummas to look after us. After Newport we ventured up to Venice beach, we showed the Yanks a couple of pointers on beach etiquette, like budgie smugglers that are three sizes to small are not cool. From Venice we went to Hollywood ... read more

Disneyland was sort of bonus stop for us as we hadn't originally planned to visit. However, over the course of our two week stay in Hermosa a lot of people had recommended that we go see it, as afterall, it was the original created by Walt Disney himself. Opened back in 1955 the park now sits beside the California Adventure Park (Has bigger and more scary rides), but with limited time available we opted for the nostalga of Mickey, Donald, Goofie and all. As we walked through the gates a big beam came across Jo's face, the train was just pulling into Disneyland Railroad station, excited children (adults as well) giggled with joy, music filled the air and as we turned the corner we got our first glimpse of the magic kingdom. The excitement that you ... read more

I cannot imagine how much fun I would have had here if I was, um.... ten years old! The magical wonderland that it is. Pretty, enlightening, impossible-not-to-be-happy advertureland. The type of endless happy, warm fuzzzy environment that you tend to want to pull apart and stomp on just a little to make sure its real. I seriously think the American government should consider sending suspected terrorists here instead of Guantanamo Bay. It would be hugs and kisses all round and for more progress they could just put them on the 'Its a small world' ride for a couple of days. That'll suck the information outta them. Oh yeahhhh. Hiya Mickey! meow. Hiya Daisy! quack. Hi Goofy! Dubya says hi. Lets just let the pictures do the talking, I've said enough. ... read more

you know, i never imagined a house far away from the hustle-and-bustle of a big town could offer me such optimum relief. i have imagined myself, always, living the vertigo life only new york could provide. all the more, i thought i had declared myself the most dreadful enemy against the quiet (country or small-town) life. only, when you start realizing, once again, that life is full of surprises, and you open yourself up to the uknown possibilities, you find yourself enjoying the most simple pleasures in life, ironically, in a house, on a hill, away from everything, silence reigning. grace offered me a few days of calm in her house in orange county. yes, i have finally managed to get down here, to the OC. the house is welcoming, high-ceilinged, well lit, very roomy, overall ... read more
