I went to the hostel that we where staying at 2nd St 1 block from the beach and I saw this hippy lookin bloke with dreads and a beard. Then I realized it was Kev, we sat in our room and caught up for a while then went down to the beach and hired a double bike and rode along the beach to Venice beach. Really nice, lots of shops and the gym on the beach. That night we drank a few bundy rums (that I bought in Sydney duty free) with our 2 German room mates. Kev loved it, he hadn't had bundy for time. The next morning we got up early and got a bus into L.A and then a bus to Vegas!... read more


I left Sydney at 3pm on the 23rd and after a 13 hr flight a few movies, Jim beam blacks ( you would have loved it Walsh) and a top sunset and sunrise (B, the sun sets behind you and you case it round the world and it rises when you get close to the Calli coast) I arrived in L.A.X at 11am the same day, 4 hrs before I left. I was met by the camp people and went to the crown plaza hotel for a night. We had a couple of hours to kill so me and a few other people doing camp went for a walk around d L.A for a look. I brought a new phone and guy told me it was a Tri-band phone I can use it anywhere. The number ... read more


I'm a little bit sad today. 2 of my friends came visiting me for 3 weeks, they went back to Sweden yesterday. We had such a great time. We went shopping, went to Vegas for 2 nights, more shopping, went to the beach, ate a great restaurants etc. I would lie if I said that I didn't cry when they left. I hadn't seen them for almost 2 years, so it just felt so great to hang out with them again. Hopefully it wont take 2 years until I see them the next time! I'm about to go and look at a car. A -95 Saturn SL2. I don't know ANYTHING about cars. but people keep on telling me that they a reliable cars, so we'll see. I'm just reallt scared about testdriving it. The only ... read more

The last couple of days we have seen a whole heap of LA. We went on a tour on Thursday of LA and visited Beverly Hills, Farmers Market, Hollywood (with the stars on the path and the footprints e.t.c) we have even been to Venice Beach - where it rained for the half hour that we were there! On Thursday night we went to a Medieval Times Dinner which was awesome!! We cheered on our knight as he fought the others in sword fights and jousting and the best part was we got to eat our dinner with our fingers - as they had no cutlery back then! Yesterday we hired a car and tried our luck on the LA freeways...Very scary....But worth it to get to the Alan Jackson and Sara Evans Concert. HA HA. ... read more

This is the first time in my life that I am going for the sake of adventure and journey. In the past it's always been an issue of finding something better, or wanting where the grass is greener..... its not the case with this next trip... could it mean I'm finally grown up and understand the contentness of life while pursuing my dream? I think so! Yeah for grown ups lke me! ;) I am sad that I'll be leaving someone that I didn't expect to get so attached to. David-if your reading this blog, thank you for being such a Godly example and still willing to be goofy and silly with me..... We really had such great times... HAD Rules! By the way, I have 5 more days till I leave L.A and drive ... read more

After undergoing a secondary search (body search and check for explosives) we left San Francisco Airport and headed to LA. What a difference it is here - we were told that there are 23 million people in LA - more than in all of Australia. We have been to both disneyland and universal studios and both were fantastic. The rides were incredible with each being individually themed and having little shows at the beginning and during the rides. We saw Mickey (which made Staceys day) and even went on the 'Small world after all' ride - which nearly drove us nuts.......... read more

Between the sales rep and I, we purchased twelve (12) tickets to the LB Gran Prix to entertain customers. Our seats were in the Grand Stand area, right by the finish line. This was my first time to a Gran Prix race. I brought my digital video camera, my digital camera, binoculars, sun block, but I forgot to take some darn ear plugs! Once the race started, the roar of the cars was unbearably high....... read more
