LA-LA Land
USA | Los AngelesAfter Dan managed to successfully drive us to LA he was keen to relax with a strong drink. I can’t imagine why, it’s not like I’m a
nervous passenger or anything! We quickly checked into our downtown hostel, Stay, which was very modern and funky and managed to make it to a bar a couple of blocks away in time for a happy hour drink. Obviously, being in LA, I was on celebrity watch. And who should we see in the first bar we went to? None other than Sean Maguire! For those of you who don’t know him, (where have you been?!) he was that Irish kid in Eastenders about 15 years ago and has also “starred” in a US sitcom called Eve. Amazingly Dan was unimpressed with my celeb-spot but I personally was thrilled, our first bar and we’d already seen a celeb! I admit he’s not exactly A List but still…! Unfortunately Sean was our one and only spot so nothing more to report on that front! Click here to read more…

We then caught a taxi to the airport’s car hire centre and braced ourselves for the inevitable bonanza of extra charges that always seem to accompany renting a car! We’d done a lot of research though so we were well prepared for the hefty one-way trip charge and even managed to get a much bigger/better car than we’d booked for the same price. So off we went in our rugged looking but comfortable Dodge Caliber, which was ours for the next four weeks. Click here to read more…
Viva Las Vegas!
USA | Las VegasLet’s just get one thing straight, Dan and I did not get married in Vegas! Firstly, our Mum’s would never forgive us, and secondly, it just doesn’t really appeal to either of us! So, after landing late on a Saturday night we got a taxi to our first hotel, a cheap place near the airport. We were only staying there for one night because prices rocket for weekend nights at the big hotels, and all we felt like doing after a slightly traumatic day of travelling was crashing out.
