California Day 1

My flight out on Wednesday went ok, due to bad snow storms in Colorado my flight was delayed leaving OK and CO so I didn't get to CA until about 9:30 was supposed to be there by 7:30. Oh the unpredictable world of flying!! Oh wait I almost forgot about the plane they put us on from OK-CO.....I sit down on the plane and look out to my right and there is a freakin propeller!!! OMG!! Let me just tell all of you I am not a huge fan of flying if anything weird happens or there is any kind of turbulence I tend to freak out but it is necessary to get me to Cali in a reasonable amount of time so I continue to do it. This tiny plain reminds me of a pedal jumper those things are so scary to me my point is I do not like them and if I never have to get on one again it will be too soon.

Friday morning I am awake semi-bright and early, Rebecca had been trying to get me up since around 7 it just didn't happen. We made a quick stop by Lee's Sandwiches for breakfast and we were on our way to LA. Our first stop has to be China Town for purses!!! We get there and the normal guy that is there (okay I say normal because I have been there 3 times now) wasn't there he is a little flamboyant but at least he helps us and shows us all of his new bags. This guy completely ignores us so needless to say I only found 2 bags (1 was from another shop) there weren't as many to choose from so I must go back very soon.

Next stop is Hollywood last time we went there I had a blast!! We got there and went and took some pics with the wanna be actors the Michael Jackson guy had something scarily wrong with his makeup but I had to take a pic anyway. Then Rebecca and I decide that we have always wanted to take a Hollywood Tour so we haggle with the guy and each get a 2.5-3 hour star homes tour for $20 great deal since I think he started at $60 (Rebecca should be so proud, she has taught me well I even bargained with the lady selling purses at Quail Springs Mall). We find out the driver just starred in an upcoming movie (I think he's kinda hot, Rebecca doesn't share my opinion) can't wait to see if it comes to OK, I will definitely be watching it!!! Anyway the guy makes lots of attempts to be funny I feel like most of the time I'm the only one who got the jokes?? So we go by some celebrities houses (see my facebook for all pics) we go up in the hills to see the Hollywood sign, that was awesome and I got to see MJ's house that was the bestest for me!!! The only drawback to the tour was the half van (top cut off) was covered with a canopy (which we thought would be good for no sunburn) but it was FREEZING!!! We were driving fairly fast at some times and it was very cool.....anyway we survived and overall great experience I would suggest that everyone do it at least once!!!

Then before we leave Hollywood we wanted to go to Madame Tussaud's. Rebecca had never been to a wax museum so we definitely had to go.....it was great I didn't officially see any real celebs this time but I got to take pics with a lot of wax molds who looked like the real thing. We had plans to go to Venice and Santa Monica this same day but it didn't happen since the tour took up so much time. Oh yeah my camera battery died and I got to spend $5 for 2 AA batteries...nice right?? I thought it was a great deal! So we have had enough by that day we go home to jump in the hot tub get our suits on go down to the pool and the hot tub is.....cold!!! UGH!! So frustrating....that was part of our plan for a lot of the down time but it never got warm...so sad. Here are some pics below of our Hollywood Day Trip I'm going to post separate blogs for each day (well at least the busy ones) or these will get to long. Also a video of the lady singing in Hollywood...too funny.
