July 19, 2010 Right now, I am sitting in starbucks with a gorgeous view of the ocean and some palms trees. I have laundry going, and am just sort of chilling. All this traveling makes one want to chill the f@#$ out! Unfortunately, for my mom, her vacation has just started and she is not nearly as wary as I am. My mom is off visiting Malibu today, I am chilling. My intentions were to go to Laguna beach, Newport beach, Redondo Beach, Manhattan Beach, and Hermosa beach….well those were intentions. Instead, after this blog post, I will be back to Venice beach taking a nap and waiting for my laundry to be finished. I do have big plans for later today though. Today is the LA premiere of the movie Salt with Angelina Jolie. I ... read more

We got up in the morning and had coffee with Jimin before heading out to the next destination. Zack had seen a special on the Food Network about Pink’s Hot Dog Stand years ago, and was delighted to learn that it was not that far from Koreatown. We decided to get one of these famous meat products, so we committed ourselves to standing in the 45-minute line. The wait wasn’t too bad, it was the deciding part that was tough. There are all kinds of specialty dogs, named after the people who have eaten them. Martha Stewart, Ozzie Osbourne, the Today Show, and Rosie O’Donnell, were just some of the options-some of them included multiple hot dogs. Zack got a bacon chili dog, I got a Chicago Polish Sausage. The food was good, not mind-blowing (it’s ... read more

Seembrerebbe che le star non amino farsi immortalare in stile casual; probabilmente perché, abituati come siamo a vederle perfette sul red carpet o sulle copertine dei giornali, tradirebbero la loro “normalità” se sorprese a vestirsi ed acconciarsi come normali massaie! Come se solo il trucco e lo stile facessero la bellezza: donne come Lindsay Lohan, Elisabetta Canalis, Sabrina A. Parisi e Victoria Beckam sarebbero belle lo stesso! Difatti proprio Lindsay Lohan, beccata recentemente al check-in dell’aeroporto di Los Angeles, si nasconde, apparentemente seccata, ai flash dei paparazzi, temendo per il proprio stile non proprio “cool”, ovvero completamente acqua e sapone! Cosa molto strana, se pensiamo che la Lohan non ha mai mancato di apparire sempre al massimo della sua bellezza anche in passeggiate pomeridiane.. che abbia preferito la comodità al... read more

Well, it had to be done at some point. Today was a mamoth day of much driving (thanks to my long-suffering friend). First we headed for Sunset Boulevard, and from there turned on to Beverly Hills. For a Brit, it's easy not to be impressed by Beverly Hills - it's essentially a pretty, green, overgrown spot. Then you remember that the rest of LA is dusty, yellowing scrubland and you realise that the verdant greenery is proof enough of wealth, and also serves to mask the buildings and the occupants' privacy. We passed the elite school for starlets' bratlings, which apparently safeguards their privacy. I find it quite sad that the actors/directors/whatever feel that their children can't live normal lives, but I'm told that, for the top celebrities, their childrens' baby photos are leaked to the ... read more

Well the time to say goodbye to lala land and head to Desert country and Las Vegas. There's not much we can do until our transfer to the airport arrives, so we lunch in the hotel bar (I have a Tuna Melt - it was gross and Lynette has a cheeseburger and eats it with knife and fork - she's weird). Transfer arrives and we get to LAX in no time. Our African driver wants know if we have Holden's in Australia. I tell him yes and explain the big debate between Holden's & Fords - he can't get over we still have them. We are dropped off and check-in and are surprised (okay maybe not that surprised) that our bags have gained 5kgs in three days. it's not looking good for being under excess baggage ... read more

Well what can i say..SHOPPING! We headed off to Century City (Shopping centre) and did you know that all the shops are outside and the food court is inside? Ah ha that's right! and did you also know that you can take your dog shopping? Ah ha yep! crazy i know!! It didnt take Lynette long to find a small purchase or two! We had a lillte lunch and off we went to find the bus (which is about 1km away) as we wanted to go to the Famers Market. WOW im totally in love with this place..people sitting on the grass, music playing, small trams rolling along the shops..ah heaven it was! After some more purchases we then had to make our way to LA Ink for our bro James (and james if your reading ... read more

OK, so we have just 24 days until we fly out. Never been overseas before. Since we booked last September, I didn't really think about it ya know? I mean I knew we were going, but now that it's just around the corner it really is sinking in. I AM GOING OVERSEAS - WITHOUT MY HUSBAND AND CHILDREN! Does that make me a bad mother? Ummm no! I was a person with travel ambitions before I was married, before I was a mother. I am still Kylie. ... read more


Early this morning we woke up to a massive storm that was passing over San Diego, according to the news they hadn't seen storms like this in 30 years in Southern California, so that was lovely to drive to Los Angeles in. I was fairly tired because we woke up at 6 in the morning so i slept for the first hour or two in the car. We stopped at Laguna Beach for breakfast in a nice little Diner on the beach. The food was great! Then we kept going on to Los Angeles still in this storm that was hitting the coast, what made it better was that it was peak hour traffic in LA when we got there. LOVELY! haha once we got past LA we went onto Hollywood which is where we spent ... read more

I'm sitting here laughing to myself as i write this as some angry American has just sent me a message on my blog calling me a 'Hater' as i apparently angered/offended her with my description of the American tourist groups in Peru that drove us crazy.....if only she knew we were now in the States and loving both the place and the people!! So this will be my last blog entry and i intend to keep it short and sweet as it is now costing us $1 for 10 minutes internet use, versus the $1 for an hour we were paying in Bolivia!! We're now in NYC but we started our little American adventure in Los Angeles. We were staying right off Melrose Avenue, and about 10 minutes walk from the Sunset Strip so we were ... read more
